gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed delete-instances - delete instances that are managed by a managed instance group

gcloud alpha compute instance-groups managed delete-instances NAME --instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…] [--skip-instances-on-validation-error] [--region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

The command returns the operation status per instance, which might be FAIL, SUCCESS, SKIPPED, or MEMBER_NOT_FOUND. MEMBER_NOT_FOUND is returned only for regional groups when the gcloud command-line tool wasn't able to resolve the zone from the instance name. SKIPPED is returned only when the --skip-instances-on-validation-error flag is used and the instance is not a member of the group or is already being deleted or abandoned.

If you want to keep the underlying virtual machines but still remove them from the managed instance group, use the abandon-instances command instead.

NAME

Name of the managed instance group to operate on.

--instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…]

Names of instances to delete.

--skip-instances-on-validation-error

Specifies whether the request should proceed even if the request includes instances that are not members of the group or that are already being deleted or abandoned. By default, if you omit this flag and such an instance is specified in the request, the operation fails. The operation always fails if the request contains a badly formatted instance name or a reference to an instance that exists in a zone or region other than the group's zone or region.

At most one of these can be specified:

--region=REGION

Region of the managed instance group to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the managed instance group to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
