NAME
gcloud compute instances stop - stop a virtual machine instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances stop INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...] [--async]
[--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. Stopping a VM with a
local SSD is not supported and will result in an API error. 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
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.
--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.
NOTES
These variants are also available:
$ gcloud alpha compute instances stop
$ gcloud beta compute instances stop
