To check the status of a deployment using the gcloud command in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Deployment Manager, you can utilize the gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe command. This command provides detailed information about the specified deployment, including its status, configuration, and resources.
To begin, open a terminal or command prompt and ensure that you have the Google Cloud SDK installed and authenticated with your GCP account. Once authenticated, you can use the gcloud command-line tool to interact with various GCP services, including Deployment Manager.
To check the status of a deployment, follow these steps:
1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Run the following command to describe the deployment:
gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe DEPLOYMENT_NAME
Replace DEPLOYMENT_NAME with the actual name of the deployment you want to check.
For example, if your deployment is named "my-deployment", the command would be:
gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe my-deployment
3. The command will provide detailed information about the deployment. Look for the "status" field to determine the current status of the deployment. The possible values for the status field include:
– `DEPLOYMENT_IN_PROGRESS`: Indicates that the deployment is still in progress.
– `DEPLOYMENT_DONE`: Indicates that the deployment has completed successfully.
– `DEPLOYMENT_FAILED`: Indicates that the deployment has failed.
Additionally, you can find other useful information such as the creation time, update time, and the configuration used for the deployment.
Here is an example output of the gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe command:
createTime: '2021-01-01T00:00:00.000-07:00'
deployment:
name: my-deployment
target: my-target
manifest: my-manifest.yaml
fingerprint: ABC123DEF456
id: '1234567890'
insertTime: '2021-01-01T00:00:00.000-07:00'
name: operation-1234567890-1234567890-1234567890
operationType: insert
progress: 100
selfLink: https://www.googleapis.com/deploymentmanager/v2/projects/my-project/global/deployments/my-deployment
status: DONE
targetLink: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-a/instances/my-instance
updateTime: '2021-01-01T00:00:00.000-07:00'
In this example, the status field shows "DONE", indicating that the deployment has completed successfully.
By using the gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe command, you can easily check the status of a deployment in Google Cloud Platform. This information is important for monitoring the progress of your deployments and ensuring their successful completion.
