NAME gcloud compute instances set-scheduling - set scheduling options for Compute Engine virtual machines SYNOPSIS gcloud compute instances set-scheduling INSTANCE_NAME [--clear-min-node-cpu] [--maintenance-policy=MAINTENANCE_POLICY] [--min-node-cpu=MIN_NODE_CPU] [--preemptible] [--[no-]restart-on-failure] [--zone=ZONE] [--clear-node-affinities | --node=NODE | --node-affinity-file=NODE_AFFINITY_FILE | --node-group=NODE_GROUP] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION $gcloud compute instances set-scheduling is used to configure scheduling options for Compute Engine virtual machines. EXAMPLES To set instance to be terminated during maintenance, run: $ gcloud compute instances set-scheduling example-instance \ --maintenance-policy=TERMINATE --zone=us-central1-b 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 FLAGS --clear-min-node-cpu Removes the min-node-cpu field from the instance. If specified, the instance min-node-cpu will be cleared. The instance will not be overcommitted and utilize the full CPU count assigned. --maintenance-policy=MAINTENANCE_POLICY Specifies the behavior of the VMs when their host machines undergo maintenance. The default is MIGRATE. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/setting-instance-scheduling-options. 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. --min-node-cpu=MIN_NODE_CPU Minimum number of virtual CPUs this instance will consume when running on a sole-tenant node. --preemptible If provided, instances will be preemptible and time-limited. Instances might be preempted to free up resources for standard VM instances, and will only be able to run for a limited amount of time. Preemptible instances can not be restarted and will not migrate. --[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. This option is mutually exclusive with --preemptible. 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 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. Sole Tenancy. At most one of these can be specified: --clear-node-affinities Removes the node affinities field from the instance. If specified, the instance node settings will be cleared. The instance will not be scheduled onto a sole-tenant node. --node=NODE The name of the node to schedule this instance on. --node-affinity-file=NODE_AFFINITY_FILE The JSON/YAML file containing the configuration of desired nodes onto which this instance could be scheduled. These rules filter the nodes according to their node affinity labels. A node's affinity labels come from the node template of the group the node is in. The file should contain a list of a JSON/YAML objects with the following fields: key Corresponds to the node affinity label keys of the Node resource. operator Specifies the node selection type. Must be one of: IN: Requires Compute Engine to seek for matched nodes. NOT_IN: Requires Compute Engine to avoid certain nodes. values Optional. A list of values which correspond to the node affinity label values of the Node resource. --node-group=NODE_GROUP The name of the node group to schedule this instance on. 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 These variants are also available: $ gcloud alpha compute instances set-scheduling $ gcloud beta compute instances set-scheduling
