- DESCRIPTION
-
(BETA)gcloud beta compute backend-services remove-backendis used to remove a backend from a backend service.Before removing a backend, it is a good idea to "drain" the backend first. A backend can be drained by setting its capacity scaler to zero through 'gcloud compute backend-services edit'.
- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME- Name of the backend service to operate on.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
-
Instance Group
--instance-group=INSTANCE_GROUP-
Name of the instance group to remove from the backend service. For details on
valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name'
at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--instance-group-region=INSTANCE_GROUP_REGION-
Region of the instance group to remove from the backend service. If not
specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION --instance-group-zone=INSTANCE_GROUP_ZONE-
Zone of the instance group to remove from the backend service. If not specified
and the
property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zoneTo avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
-
Network Endpoint Group
--network-endpoint-group=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP-
Name of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--global-network-endpoint-group- If set, the network endpoint group is global.
--network-endpoint-group-region=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_REGION-
Region of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service. If not
specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION --network-endpoint-group-zone=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_ZONE-
Zone of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service. If not
specified and the
property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zoneTo avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
