Stops a running instance, shutting it down cleanly, and allows you to restart the instance at a later time. Stopped instances do not incur VM usage charges while they are stopped. However, resources that the VM is using, such as persistent disks and static IP addresses, will continue to be charged until they are deleted. For more information, see Stopping an instance .
HTTP request
POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/instances/{instance}/stop
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.
Path parameters
Parameters | |
---|---|
project
|
Project ID for this request. |
zone
|
The name of the zone for this request. |
instance
|
Name of the instance resource to stop. |
Query parameters
Parameters | |
---|---|
requestId
|
An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID
with the exception that zero UUID is not supported ( |
discardLocalSsd
|
This property is required if the instance has any attached Local SSD disks. If false, Local SSD data will be preserved when the instance is suspended. If true, the contents of any attached Local SSD disks will be discarded. |
Request body
The request body must be empty.
Response body
Represents an Operation resource.
Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:
You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses .
Operations can be global, regional or zonal.
- For global operations, use the
globalOperations
resource. - For regional operations, use the
regionOperations
resource. - For zonal operations, use the
zoneOperations
resource.
For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources .
Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.
operationType
string
[Output Only] The type of operation, such as insert
, update
, or delete
, and so on.

targetId
string ( uint64
format)
[Output Only] The unique target ID, which identifies a specific incarnation of the target resource.
status
enum
[Output Only] The status of the operation, which can be one of the following: PENDING
, RUNNING
, or DONE
.
user

or alice_smith_identifier (global/workforcePools/example-com-us-employees)
.
progress
integer
[Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
startTime
string
[Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
endTime
string
[Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
error
object
[Output Only] If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
error.errors[]
object
[Output Only] The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
error.errors[].code

error.errors[].location
string
[Output Only] Indicates the field in the request that caused the error. This property is optional.
error.errors[].message
string
[Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
error.errors[].errorDetails[]
object
[Output Only] An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo
object
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason
string
The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9]
, which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain
string
The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.metadatas
map (key: string, value: string)
Additional structured details about this error.
Keys must match /[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+/ but should ideally be lowerCamelCase. Also they must be limited to 64 characters in length. When identifying the current value of an exceeded limit, the units should be contained in the key, not the value. For example, rather than {"instanceLimit": "100/request"}, should be returned as, {"instanceLimitPerRequest": "100"}, if the client exceeds the number of instances that can be created in a single (batch) request.
