gcloud alpha compute backend-services edit - modify a backend service

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute backend-services edit BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME [--global | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute backend-services edit modifies a backend service of a Google Cloud load balancer or Traffic Director. The backend service resource is fetched from the server and presented in a text editor that displays the configurable fields.

The specific editor is defined by the EDITOR environment variable.

The name of each backend corresponds to the name of an instance group, zonal NEG, serverless NEG, or internet NEG.

To add, remove, or swap backends, use the gcloud compute backend-services remove-backend and gcloud compute backend-services add-backend commands.
