    --metadata-from-file key=value[,key=value...]
    Same as --metadata except that the value for the entry will be read from a local file.
    --ssh-key string
    Creates user 'yc-user' and adds SSH key from specified file to authorized keys using cloud-config. If your need more flexibility, use cloud-config passed in 'user-data' metadata key.
    --public-ip If true, one-to-one NAT public IP will be created for the default network interface. Cannot be passed together with --network-interface
    --public-address string
    If set, one-to-one NAT public IP will be created for the default network interface with the specified value. Cannot be passed together with --network-interface
    --create-disk PROPERTY=VALUE[,PROPERTY=VALUE...]
    Creates and attaches persistent disks to the instance. Possible property names: name Specifies the name of the disk. type The type of the disk. To get a list of available disk types, run 'yc compute disk-type list'. The default disk type is network-hdd. size The size of the disk in GB. You can also use M and T suffixes to specify smaller or greater size respectively. If not specified, inferred size is used. If the disk is created from a snapshot, disk size of the snapshot is used. If the disk is created from an image, size of the image is used.If no source is specified, default disk size is used. block-size Specifies the block size of the disk in bytes. You can also use K and M suffixes. snapshot-name A source snapshot used to create the disk. snapshot-id An ID of the source snapshot used to create the disk. image-name A source image used to create the disk. image-id An ID of the source image used to create the disk. image-family An image family that is used to create the disk. image-folder-id The folder ID that is used to resolve references for image-name or image-family. disk-placement-group-id An ID of the placement group to create the disk in disk-placement-group-name A placement group to create the disk in device-name Specifies a unique serial number of your choice that is reflected into the /dev/disk/by-id/ tree of a Linux operating system running within the instance. auto-delete Specifies if this persistent disk will be automatically deleted when the instance is deleted.
    --attach-disk PROPERTY=VALUE[,PROPERTY=VALUE...]
    Attaches persistent disks to the instances. The specified disks must already exist. Possible property names: disk-name The disk to attach to the instance. disk-id An ID of the disk to attach to the instance. device-name Specifies a unique serial number of your choice that is reflected into the /dev/disk/by-id/ tree of a Linux operating system running within the instance. auto-delete Specifies if this persistent disk will be automatically deleted when the instance is deleted.
    --create-boot-disk PROPERTY=VALUE[,PROPERTY=VALUE...]
    Creates a new disk and uses it as a boot disk of the instance. Possible property names: name Specifies the name of the disk. type The type of the disk. To get a list of available disk types, run 'yc compute disk-type list'. The default disk type is network-hdd. size The size of the disk in GB. You can also use M and T suffixes to specify smaller or greater size respectively. If not specified, inferred size is used. If the disk is created from a snapshot, disk size of the snapshot is used. If the disk is created from an image, size of the image is used.If no source is specified, default disk size is used. block-size Specifies the block size of the disk in bytes. You can also use K and M suffixes. snapshot-name A source snapshot used to create the disk. snapshot-id An ID of the source snapshot used to create the disk. image-name A source image used to create the disk. image-id An ID of the source image used to create the disk. image-family An image family that is used to create the disk. image-folder-id The folder ID that is used to resolve references for image-name or image-family. disk-placement-group-id An ID of the placement group to create the disk in disk-placement-group-name A placement group to create the disk in device-name Specifies a unique serial number of your choice that is reflected into the /dev/disk/by-id/ tree of a Linux operating system running within the instance. auto-delete Specifies if this persistent disk will be automatically deleted when the instance is deleted.
    --use-boot-disk PROPERTY=VALUE[,PROPERTY=VALUE...]
    Uses an already existing disk as a boot disk of the instance. Possible property names: disk-name The disk to attach to the instance. disk-id An ID of the disk to attach to the instance. device-name Specifies a unique serial number of your choice that is reflected into the /dev/disk/by-id/ tree of a Linux operating system running within the instance. auto-delete Specifies if this persistent disk will be automatically deleted when the instance is deleted.
    --attach-filesystem PROPERTY=VALUE[,PROPERTY=VALUE...]
