NAME

gcloud_compute_config-ssh - populate SSH config files with Host entries from each instance

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute config-ssh [--dry-run] [--format FORMAT] [--help] [--project PROJECT_ID] [--quiet, -q] [--remove] [--ssh-config-file SSH_CONFIG_FILE] [--ssh-key-file SSH_KEY_FILE] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute config-ssh makes SSHing to virtual machine instances easier by adding an alias for each instance to the user SSH configuration (~/.ssh/config) file. In most cases, it is sufficient to run: $ gcloud compute config-ssh Each instance will be given an alias of the form NAME.ZONE.PROJECT. For example, if example-instance resides in us-central1-a, you can SSH to it by running: $ ssh example-instance.us-central1-a.MY-PROJECT On some platforms, the host alias can be tab-completed, making the long alias less daunting to type. The aliases created interface with SSH-based programs like scp(1), so it is possible to use the aliases elsewhere: $ scp ~/MY-FILE example-instance.us-central1-a.MY-PROJECT:~ Whenever instances are added, removed, or their external IP addresses are changed, this command should be re-executed to update the configuration.

FLAGS

--dry-run If provided, the proposed changes to the SSH config file are printed to standard out and no actual changes are made. --remove If provided, any changes made to the SSH config file by this tool are reverted. --ssh-config-file SSH_CONFIG_FILE Specifies an alternative per-user SSH configuration file. By default, this is ~/.ssh/config. --ssh-key-file SSH_KEY_FILE The path to the SSH key file. By default, this is ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine. GLOBAL FLAGS --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. --project PROJECT_ID The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation. If omitted then the current project is assumed. --quiet, -q Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised. -h Print a summary help and exit.

NOTES

This command is in the Google Cloud SDK compute component. See installing components if it is not installed. GCLOUD COMPUTE CONFIG-SSH(1)
