gcloud preview compute instances set-name

NAME
gcloud preview compute instances set-name - set the name of a Compute Engine virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
gcloud preview compute instances set-name INSTANCE_NAME --new-name=NEW_NAME [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(PREVIEW) gcloud preview compute instances set-name lets you change the name of a virtual machine.
EXAMPLES
To change the name of instance-1 to instance-2: 
gcloud preview compute instances set-name instance-1 --new-name=instance-2
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. 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
REQUIRED FLAGS
--new-name=NEW_NAME
Specifies the new name of the instance.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user 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: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in DEVELOPER PREVIEW and may change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:

gcloud alpha compute instances set-name
 
gcloud beta compute instances set-name
