Reset a virtual machine instance. Resetting a VM instance is similar to doing a hard reset on your computer, where you might press a reset button or press and hold the power button. Resetting a VM forcibly wipes the memory contents of the machine and resets the VM to its initial state. The VM does not perform a clean shutdown of the guest OS.
EXAMPLES
To reset an instance named "example-instance" in project "example-project", run:
gdcloud compute instances reset example-instance --project example-project
GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
