NAME

gcloud compute instance-groups managed abandon-instances - abandon instances owned by a managed instance group

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute instance-groups managed abandon-instances NAME --instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,...] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute instance-groups managed abandon-instances abandons one or more instances from a managed instance group, thereby reducing the targetSize of the group. Once instances have been abandoned, the currentSize of the group is automatically reduced as well to reflect the change.

Abandoning an instance does not reboot or delete the underlying virtual machine instances, but just removes the instances from the instance group. If you would like to delete the underlying instances, use the delete-instances command instead.

The command returns the operation status per instance, which might be FAIL, SUCCESS, 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.

For a more detailed overview of how abandoning instances from a managed instance group works, see Abandoning instances from a MIG https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups/add-remove-vms-in-mig#abandoning_instances.
