gcloud alpha compute instances set-min-cpu-platform - set minimum CPU platform for Compute Engine virtual machines
gcloud alpha compute instances set-min-cpu-platform INSTANCE_NAME --min-cpu-platform=PLATFORM [--async] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) (DEPRECATED) This command is deprecated. Use $ gcloud alpha compute instances update --set-min-cpu-platform instead.
gcloud alpha compute instances set-min-cpu-platform changes the minimum CPU platform of a virtual machine with the TERMINATED status (a virtual machine instance that has been stopped).
For example, running the command on example-instance virtual machine which has a status of TERMINATED
$ gcloud alpha compute instances set-min-cpu-platform \ example-instance --zone us-central1-a \ --min-cpu-platform "Intel Broadwell"
will set the minimum CPU platform to Intel Broadwell. When you start example-instance later, it will be provisioned using at least Intel Broadwell CPU platform.
To get a list of available CPU platforms in us-central1-a zone, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute zones describe us-central1-a \ --format="value(availableCpuPlatforms)"
- INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
- --min-cpu-platform=PLATFORM
When specified, the VM will be scheduled on host with specified CPU architecture or a newer one. To list available CPU platforms in given zone, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute zones describe ZONE \ --format="value(availableCpuPlatforms)"
Default setting is "AUTOMATIC".
CPU platform selection is available only in selected zones.
You can find more information on-line: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the compute/zone property:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist.
