POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to operate on.

FLAGS

--maintenance-policy=MAINTENANCE_POLICY

Specifies the behavior of the instances when their host machines undergo maintenance. The default is MIGRATE. MAINTENANCE_POLICY must be one of:

MIGRATE

The instances should be migrated to a new host. This will temporarily impact the performance of instances during a migration event.

TERMINATE

The instances should be terminated.

--[no-]restart-on-failure

The instances will be restarted if they are terminated by Compute Engine. This does not affect terminations performed by the user. Use --restart-on-failure to enable and --no-restart-on-failure to disable.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instance 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.
