- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute instance-groups managed instance-configs deletedeletes one or more per-instance configs from a Google Compute Engine managed instance group.Changes are applied immediately to the corresponding instances, by performing the necessary action (for example, REFRESH), unless overridden by providing the
flag.--no-update-instance - EXAMPLES
-
To delete the per-instance config from
, run:my-instancegcloud compute instance-groups managed instance-configs delete my-group --region=europe-west4 --instances=my-instanceThis removes all metadata and detaches all disks that were defined in the per-instance config (except for disks that are also defined in the instance template, which remain attached).
- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
NAME- Name of the managed instance group to delete.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…]- Names of instances to delete instance-configs from.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
--instance-update-minimal-action=INSTANCE_UPDATE_MINIMAL_ACTION; default="none"-
Perform at least this action on the instance while updating, if
--update-instanceis set totrue.INSTANCE_UPDATE_MINIMAL_ACTIONmust be one of:none- No action
refresh- Apply the new configuration without stopping VMs, if possible. For example, use ``refresh`` to apply changes that only affect metadata or additional disks.
restart- Apply the new configuration without replacing VMs, if possible. For example, stopping VMs and starting them again is sufficient to apply changes to machine type.
replace- Replace old VMs according to the --replacement-method flag.
--update-instance-
Apply the configuration changes immediately to the instance. If you disable this
flag, the managed instance group will apply the configuration update when you
next recreate or update the instance.
Example: say you have an instance with a disk attached to it and you created a stateful configuration for the disk. If you decide to delete the stateful configuration for the disk and you provide this flag, the group immediately refreshes the instance and removes the stateful configuration for the disk. Similarly if you have attached a new disk or changed its definition, with this flag the group immediately refreshes the instance with the new configuration.
Enabled by default, use
--no-update-instanceto disable. -
At most one of these can be specified:
--region=REGION-
Region of the managed instance group to delete. If not specified, you might be
prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
A list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listOverrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. --zone=ZONE-
Zone of the managed instance group to delete. If not specified, you might be
prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listOverrides the default
compute/zoneproperty value for this command invocation.
