gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type

NAME: gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type - set machine type for Compute Engine virtual machines
SYNOPSIS: gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type INSTANCE_NAME [ --machine-type = MACHINE_TYPE ] [ --zone = ZONE ] [ --custom-cpu = CUSTOM_CPU --custom-memory = CUSTOM_MEMORY : --custom-extensions --custom-vm-type = CUSTOM_VM_TYPE ] [ GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG … ]
DESCRIPTION: (BETA) gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type lets you change the machine type of a virtual machine in the TERMINATED state (that is, a virtual machine instance that has been stopped).
For example, if example-instance is a g1-small virtual machine currently in the TERMINATED state, running:

gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type example-instance --zone us-central1-b --machine-type n1-standard-4

will change the machine type to n1-standard-4 , so that when you next start example-instance , it will be provisioned as an n1-standard-4 instead of a g1-small .

See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types for more information on machine types.
EXAMPLES: To change the machine type of a VM to n1-standard-4 , run:
gcloud beta compute instances set-machine-type example-instance --zone = us-central1-b --machine-type = n1-standard-4
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: 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
FLAGS: --machine-type = MACHINE_TYPE

Specifies the machine type used for the instances. To get a list of available machine types, run 'gcloud compute machine-types list'. Either this flag, --custom-cpu, or --custom-memory must be specified.

--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 .

Custom machine type extensions.

--custom-cpu = CUSTOM_CPU

A whole number value specifying the number of cores that are needed in the custom machine type.
For some machine types, shared-core values can also be used. For example, for E2 machine types, you can specify micro , small , or medium .

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--custom-memory = CUSTOM_MEMORY

A whole number value indicating how much memory is desired in the custom machine type. A size unit should be provided (eg. 3072MB or 9GB) - if no units are specified, GB is assumed.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--custom-extensions

Use the extended custom machine type.

--custom-vm-type = CUSTOM_VM_TYPE

Specifies a custom machine type. The default is n1 . For more information about custom machine types, see: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/general-purpose-machines#custom_machine_types
