NAME
gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe - describe a Compute Engine snapshot
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe SNAPSHOT_NAME [--global     | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe displays all data associated with a Compute Engine snapshot in a project.

Given an existing snapshot is queried, successful output of this command looks like the following: 

creationTimestamp: '2018-05-07T10:45:46.988-07:00'
diskSizeGb: '500'
id: '1234567891234567890'
kind: compute#snapshot
labelFingerprint: 12345abcdWW=
name: zs9utdhb8r1x
selfLink: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/test-project-name/global/snapshots/snapshot-number
sourceDisk: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/test-project-name/zones/us-central1-c/disks/test
sourceDiskId: '1234567891234567890'
status: READY
storageBytes: '0'
storageBytesStatus: UP_TO_DATE
EXAMPLES
To run gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe, you'll need the name of a snapshot. To list existing snapshots by name, run: 
gcloud alpha compute snapshots list

To display specific details of an existing Compute Engine snapshot (like its creation time, status, and storage details), run: 

gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe SNAPSHOT_NAME --format="table(creationTimestamp, status, storageBytesStatus)"
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
SNAPSHOT_NAME
Name of the snapshot to describe.
FLAGS
At most one of these can be specified:
--global
If set, the snapshot is global.
--region=REGION
Region of the snapshot to describe. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
