\f5gcloud alpha compute operations describe\fR \fINAME\fR [\fB\-\-global\fR\ |\ \fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR\ |\ \fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR] [\fIGCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG\ ...\fR]



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR \fBgcloud alpha compute operations describe\fR displays all data
associated with a Compute Engine operation in a project.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To get details about a global operation (e.g. operation\-111\-222\-333\-444),
run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute operations describe \e
    operation\-111\-222\-333\-444 \-\-global
.RE

To get details about a regional operation, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute operations describe \e
    operation\-111\-222\-333\-444 \-\-region=us\-central1
.RE

To get details about a zonal operation, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute operations describe \e
    operation\-111\-222\-333\-444 \-\-zone=us\-central1\-a
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fINAME\fR

Name of the operation returned by an asynchronous command. Use \f5gcloud compute
operations list\fR to display recent operations.


.RE
.sp

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

At most one of these can be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-global\fR

If set, the operation is global.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

Region of the operation to describe. Overrides the default \fBcompute/region\fR
property value for this command invocation.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the operation to describe. Overrides the default \fBcompute/zone\fR
property value for this command invocation.

.SH "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:
