GCLOUD COMPUTE INSTANCES STOP(1)              GCLOUD COMPUTE INSTANCES STOP(1)

NAME
       gcloud_compute_instances_stop - stop a virtual machine instance

SYNOPSIS
       gcloud compute instances stop NAME [NAME ...] [--format FORMAT]
              [--help] [--project PROJECT_ID] [--quiet, -q] [--zone ZONE] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       gcloud compute instances stop is used stop a Google Compute Engine
       virtual machine. Stopping a VM performs a clean shutdown, much like
       invoking the shutdown functionality of a workstation or laptop.
       Stopping an SSD-attached VM is not supported and will result in an API
       error.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
       NAME [NAME ...]
           The names of the instances to stop.

FLAGS
       --zone ZONE
           The zone of the instance to stop. If not specified, you will be
           prompted to select a zone.

           To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
           compute/zone property:

               $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

           A list of zones can 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.

   GLOBAL FLAGS
       --format FORMAT
           Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific
           human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of
           the available options will serialize the result of the command in
           the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are:
           json, text, yaml.

       --help
           Display detailed help.

       --project PROJECT_ID
           The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation.
           If omitted then the current project is assumed.

       --quiet, -q
           Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If
           input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be
           raised.

       -h
           Print a summary help and exit.

NOTES
       This command is in the Google Cloud SDK compute component. See
