-
To get the VM extension state for instance 'my-instance' in zone 'ZONE' for
extension 'my-extension', run:
gcloud alpha compute instances get-vm-extension-state my-instance --extension-name=my-extension --zone=ZONE - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-

gcloudattempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined,gcloudprompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
