.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR \fBgcloud alpha compute instance\-groups describe\fR displays all
data associated with an instance group in a project.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To get details about a regional instance group in the \f5\fIus\-central1\fR\fR
regions, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute instance\-groups describe \-\-region=us\-central1
.RE

To get details about a zonal instance group in the \f5\fIus\-central1\-b\fR\fR
zone, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute instance\-groups describe \-\-zone=us\-central1\-b
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"
