NAME
    gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances - suspend
        instances owned by a managed instance group

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances NAME
        --instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,...] [--force]
        [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances
    suspends one or more instances from a managed instance group, thereby
    reducing the targetSize and increasing the targetSuspendedSize of the
    group.

    The command returns the operation status per instance, which might be FAIL,
    SUCCESS, or MEMBER_NOT_FOUND. MEMBER_NOT_FOUND is returned only for
    regional groups when the gcloud command-line tool wasn't able to resolve
    the zone from the instance name.

EXAMPLES
    To suspend an instance from a managed instance group in the us-central1-a
    zone, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances \
        example-managed-instance-group --zone=us-central1-a \
        --instances=example-instance

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     NAME
        Name of the managed instance group to operate on.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,...]
        Names of instances to suspend.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --force
        Immediately suspend the specified instances, skipping the initial
        delay, if one is specified in the standby policy.

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --region=REGION
          Region of the managed instance group to operate on. 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 list

          Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command
          invocation.

       --zone=ZONE
          Zone of the managed instance group to operate on. 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 list

          Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command
          invocation.

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 alpha and might 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 compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances

        $ gcloud beta compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances
