DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute instances add-access-config is used to create access configurations for network interfaces of Google Compute Engine virtual machines.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

The name of the instance to add the access configuration to.

FLAGS

--access-config-name ACCESS_CONFIG_NAME

Specifies the name of the new access configuration. “external-nat” is used as the default if this flag is not provided.

--address ADDRESS

Specifies the external IP address of the new access configuration. If this is not specified, then the service will choose an available ephemeral IP address. If an explicit IP address is given, then that IP address must be reserved by the project and not be in use by another resource.

--format FORMAT

Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of the available options will serialize the result of the command in the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are: "json", "text", "yaml".

--help

Display detailed help.

--network-interface NETWORK_INTERFACE

Specifies the name of the network interface on which to add the new access configuration. If this is not provided, then "nic0" is used as the default.

--project PROJECT

Google Cloud Platform project to use for this invocation.

--quiet

Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.

--zone ZONE

The zone of the instance to add an access config to. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a zone.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the “compute/zone” property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable “CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE”.

-h

Print a summary help and exit.
