.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR \fBgcloud alpha compute target\-instances update\fR updates a
Compute Engine target instance.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To update the security policy run this:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute target\-instances update TARGET_INSTANCE \e
    \-\-security\-policy='my\-policy'
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-security\-policy\fR=\fISECURITY_POLICY\fR

The security policy that will be set for this target instance. To remove the
policy from this target instance set the policy to an empty string.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-security\-policy\-region\fR=\fISECURITY_POLICY_REGION\fR

Region of the security policy to operate on. Overrides the default
\fBcompute/region\fR property value for this command invocation.

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

Zone of the target instance to update. If not specified and the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a
zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.
