SYNOPSIS
-

DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances stop is used stop a Google
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
- INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]
-
Names of the instances to operate on.
FLAGS
-
- --async
-
Display information about the operation in progress, without waiting for the
operation to complete.
- --discard-local-ssd
-
If provided, local SSD data is discarded.
- --zone=ZONE
-
Zone of the instances to operate on. If not specified, you may be prompted to
select a zone. gcloud will attempt to identify the zone by searching for
resources in your project. If the zone cannot be determined, you will then be
prompted with all Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:
- $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
- $ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
- $ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --account, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details.

This command is currently in ALPHA and may change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the right project, you will have to apply for early access and have your projects registered on the API whitelist to use it.
