Manually suspend or stop VMs in a MIG

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

This document explains how to suspend and stop virtual machine (VM) instances in a managed instance group (MIG), and how to resume their operation.

Before you begin

Review the introductory page about suspended and stopped VMs in a MIG.
If you haven't already, then set up authentication. Authentication is the process by which your identity is verified for access to Google Cloud services and APIs. To run code or samples from a local development environment, you can authenticate to Compute Engine by selecting one of the following options:
Select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page:
Console
When you use the Google Cloud console to access Google Cloud services and APIs, you don't need to set up authentication.
gcloud
1. Install the Google Cloud CLI. After installation, initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:
```
gcloud init
```
  If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.
  Note: If you installed the gcloud CLI previously, make sure you have the latest version by running gcloud components update.
2. Set a default region and zone.
REST
To use the REST API samples on this page in a local development environment, you use the credentials you provide to the gcloud CLI.
For more information, see Authenticate for using REST in the Google Cloud authentication documentation.

Suspend specific VMs in a MIG

You can suspend a running VM in a MIG using the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or the Compute Engine API.

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Instance groups page.
Go to the Instance groups page
Click the instance group name where you want to suspend VMs.
In the instance group Overview page, under VM instances, select all the VMs that you want to suspend.
Click Suspend.
In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Suspend to confirm.

gcloud

Use the instance-groups managed suspend-instances command.

gcloud compute instance-groups managed suspend-instances MIG_NAME \
  --instances=INSTANCE_NAME \
  [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE]

Replace the following:

MIG_NAME: the name of the MIG in which to suspend an instance.
INSTANCE_NAME: the name of the instance to suspend. To suspend multiple instances, provide a comma-separated list of names.
REGION: for a regional MIG, the region where the MIG is located.
ZONE: for a zonal MIG, the zone where the MIG is located.

REST

Use the instanceGroupManager.suspendInstances method and specify the instances in the request body. For regional MIGs, use the regionInstanceGroupManager.suspendInstances method.

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instanceGroupManagers/MIG_NAME/suspendInstances

{
  "instances": [
    "INSTANCE_NAME_URL"
  ]
}

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID: the project ID for the request.
ZONE: for a zonal MIG, the zone where the MIG is located.
- For a regional MIG, replace zones/ZONE with regions/REGION and specify the region of the MIG.
MIG_NAME: the name of the MIG in which to suspend an instance.
INSTANCE_NAME_URL: the URL of the instance to suspend—for example, zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name1. To suspend multiple instances, provide a comma-separated list of URLs—for example, "zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name1","zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name2".

  --instances=INSTANCE_NAME \
  [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE]

Replace the following:

MIG_NAME: the name of the MIG in which to resume an instance.
INSTANCE_NAME: the name of the instance to resume. To resume multiple instances, provide a comma-separated list of names.
REGION: for a regional MIG, the region where the MIG is located.
ZONE: for a zonal MIG, the zone where the MIG is located.

Use the instanceGroupManager.resumeInstances method and specify the instances in the request body. For regional MIGs, use the regionInstanceGroupManager.resumeInstances method.

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instanceGroupManagers/MIG_NAME/resumeInstances

{
  "instances": [
    "INSTANCE_NAME_URL"
  ]
}

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID: the project ID for the request.
ZONE: for a zonal MIG, the zone where the MIG is located.
- For a regional MIG, replace zones/ZONE with regions/REGION and specify the region of the MIG.
MIG_NAME: the name of the MIG in which to resume an instance.
INSTANCE_NAME_URL: the URL of the instance to resume—for example, zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name1. To resume multiple instances, provide a comma-separated list of URLs—for example, "zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name1","zones/us-central1-a/instances/example-instance-name2".

Stop selected VMs in a MIG

You can stop a running VM in a MIG using the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or the Compute Engine API.

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Instance groups page.
Go to the Instance groups page
Click the instance group name where you want to stop VMs.
In the instance group Overview page, under VM instances, select all the VMs that you want to stop, then click Stop. If there is no Stop option, click more_vert More actions > stop Stop.
In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Stop to confirm.

gcloud
