Creates a new GCE image from a disk.
An image is a copy of a GCE disk that can be used to create new instances. The --disk
parameter must be given followed by the name of the disk to copy, and --name
must be followed by a unique name for the new image. The named disk must be a bootable root disk disconnected from a virtual system. The optional --desc
parameter can be followed by a human-readable description for the new snapshot.
The --project
parameter can be used to control which GCE project the disk is created under, if you have more than one. Similarly --zone
can be used to select the zone the disk is in, if it differs from the project default.
Example usage
cloudmin create-gce-image --disk test4 --name image4 Creating GCE image image4 from disk test4 .. .. created successfully
