Project-wide metadata
Project-wide metadata is available to all Compute Engine instances, and can be queried and modified from anywhere. Querying project-wide metadata requires the compute.projects.setCommonInstanceMetadata permission, while modifying project-wide metadata requires the compute.projects.get permission.
Project-wide metadata is controlled using the gcloud compute project-info command group. All project-wide metadata can be viewed using the following command (an optional formatter is used here to remove unrelated information):
gcloud compute project-info describe \ --format="yaml(commonInstanceMetadata)"
