NAME
gcloud compute instances stop - stop a virtual machine instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances stop INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...] [--async]
[--discard-local-ssd[=DISCARD_LOCAL_SSD]] [--zone=ZONE]
[GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances stop is used to stop a Compute Engine virtual
machine. Stopping a VM performs a clean shutdown, much like invoking the
shutdown functionality of a workstation or laptop.
If a VM has any attached Local SSD disks, you must use the
--discard-local-ssd flag to indicate whether or not the Local SSD data
should be discarded. To stop the VM and preserve the Local SSD data when
you stop the VM by setting --discard-local-ssd=False.
To stop the VM and discard the Local SSD data, specify
--discard-local-ssd=True.
Preserving the Local SSD disk data incurs costs and is subject to
limitations. See
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd#stop_instance for
more information.
Stopping a VM which is already stopped will return without errors.
EXAMPLES
To stop an instance named test-instance, run:
$ gcloud compute instances stop test-instance
To stop an instance named test-instance that has a Local SSD, run:
$ gcloud compute instances stop test-instance \
--discard-local-ssd=True
Using '--discard-local-ssd' without a value defaults to True.
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.
--discard-local-ssd[=DISCARD_LOCAL_SSD]
If set to true, local SSD data is discarded.
--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,
