Get instance information
This page explains how to list all instances in a project and get instance details programmatically using Bigtable client libraries or manually using the Cloud de Confiance console, Google Cloud CLI, or cbt CLI :
List instances
To get a list of instances, do the following:
Console
In the Cloud de Confiance console, open the list of Bigtable instances.

gcloud
Use the bigtable instances list command to view a list of instances:
gcloud bigtable instances list
cbt
Use the listinstances command to view a list of instances:
cbt listinstances
