Create Instance from snapshot using skd

[escufi]

Hello All,

I'm trying to create a script that creates a snapshot from a running machine and after that, create another machine ( with different name) in order to make tests.

The problem is , when i tried to create instance with "$gcloud compute instances create..." it is not posible to create instance from a snapshot.... 

Anybody can help me ?

In order to create a VM instance from a snapshot, first you will need to create a disk from the snapshot [1] and then create the VM instance from the disk [2]. 

Example:

1. gcloud compute disks create "disk-1" --zone "us-central1-f" --source-snapshot "snapshot-1" --type "pd-standard"

2. gcloud compute instances create "instance-1" --zone "us-central1-f" --disk name=disk-1,device-name=instance-1,mode=rw,boot=yes

Sincerely,

Kamran
