NAME

gcloud beta compute resource-policies create-snapshot-schedule - create a Compute Engine Snapshot Schedule Resource Policy

SYNOPSIS

gcloud beta compute resource-policies create-snapshot-schedule NAME --max-retention-days=MAX_RETENTION_DAYS (--weekly-schedule-from-file=PATH_TO_FILE     | --start-time=START_TIME (--daily-schedule | --hourly-schedule=HOURS | --weekly-schedule=WEEKLY_CYCLE)) [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--on-source-disk-delete=ON_SOURCE_DISK_DELETE] [--region=REGION] [--guest-flush --snapshot-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…] --storage-location=LOCATION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(BETA) (DEPRECATED) create-snapshot-schedule is deprecated. Use compute resource-policies create snapshot-schedule instead. Create a Compute Engine Snapshot Schedule Resource Policy.

EXAMPLES

The following command creates a Compute Engine Snapshot Schedule Resource Policy with a daily snapshot and a one day snapshot retention policy.

gcloud beta compute resource-policies create-snapshot-schedule my-resource-policy --region=REGION --start-time=04:00Z --daily-schedule --max-retention-days=1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

Name of the resource policy to operate on.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--max-retention-days=MAX_RETENTION_DAYS

Maximum number of days snapshot can be retained.

Cycle Frequency Group.

Exactly one of these must be specified:

Using a file:

--weekly-schedule-from-file=PATH_TO_FILE

A JSON/YAML file which specifies a weekly schedule. The file should contain the following fields:

day: Day of the week with the same choices as --weekly-schedule. startTime: Start time of the snapshot schedule with the same format as --start-time.

For more information about using a file, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/scheduled-snapshots#create_snapshot_schedule.

Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of weekly_schedule.

Using command flags:

--start-time=START_TIME

Start time for the disk snapshot schedule. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on time formats.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

Exactly one of these must be specified:

--daily-schedule

Snapshot schedule starts daily at START_TIME.

--hourly-schedule=HOURS

Snapshot schedule occurs every n hours starting at START_TIME.

--weekly-schedule=WEEKLY_CYCLE

Snapshot schedule occurs weekly on WEEKLY_SCHEDULE at START_TIME. WEEKLY_CYCLE must be one of: monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--description=DESCRIPTION

An optional, textual description for the backend.

--on-source-disk-delete=ON_SOURCE_DISK_DELETE

Retention behavior of automatic snapshots in the event of source disk deletion. ON_SOURCE_DISK_DELETE must be one of:

apply-retention-policy

Continue to apply the retention window to automatically-created snapshots when the source disk is deleted.

keep-auto-snapshots

Keep automatically-created snapshots when the source disk is deleted. This is the default behavior.

--region=REGION

Region of the resource policy to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

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

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

Snapshot properties

--guest-flush

Create an application consistent snapshot by informing the OS to prepare for the snapshot process.

--snapshot-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

The label is added to each snapshot created by the schedule.

--storage-location=LOCATION

Google Cloud Storage location, either regional or multi-regional, where snapshot content is to be stored. If absent, a nearby regional or multi-regional location is chosen automatically.

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.
