gdcloud compute instances stop

NAME

gdcloud compute instances stop - Stop a virtual machine instance.

SYNOPSIS

gdcloud compute instances stop INSTANCE_NAME [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Stop a virtual machine instance. Stopping a VM instance performs a clean shutdown, much like invoking the shutdown functionality of a workstation or laptop. Stopping a VM instance which is already stopped will return without errors.

EXAMPLES

To stop an instance named "example-instance" in project "example-project", run:

    gdcloud compute instances stop example-instance --project example-project

GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
