NAME
gcloud compute instances start - start a stopped virtual machine instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances start INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]
[--async] [--csek-key-file=FILE] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances start is used to start a stopped Compute Engine
virtual machine. Only a stopped virtual machine can be started.
EXAMPLES
To start a stopped instance named 'example-instance' in zone us-central1-a,
run:
$ gcloud compute instances start example-instance \
--zone=us-central1-a
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]
Names of the instances 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
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to
complete.
--csek-key-file=FILE
Path to a Customer-Supplied Encryption Key (CSEK) key file that maps
Compute Engine resources to user managed keys to be used when creating,
mounting, or taking snapshots of disks.
If you pass - as value of the flag, the CSEK is read from stdin. See
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/customer-supplied-encryption
for more details.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instances 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.
