gcloud alpha compute instances simulate-maintenance-event - simulate host maintenance of VM instances
gcloud alpha compute instances simulate-maintenance-event INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...] [--async] [--with-extended-notifications=WITH_EXTENDED_NOTIFICATIONS] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances simulate-maintenance-event simulates a host maintenance event on a Compute Engine VM. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/simulating-host-maintenance.
To simulate a maintenance event on an instance named test-instance located in zone us-east1-d, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute instances simulate-maintenance-event \ test-instance --zone=us-east1-d
- INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]
Names of the instances 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
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --with-extended-notifications=WITH_EXTENDED_NOTIFICATIONS
Send an extended notification before simulating a host maintenance event on a Compute Engine VM.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the instances 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. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud compute instances simulate-maintenance-event
$ gcloud beta compute instances simulate-maintenance-event
