gcloud alpha compute instances delete-access-config

NAME
gcloud alpha compute instances delete-access-config - delete an access configuration from a virtual machine network interface
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute instances delete-access-configINSTANCE_NAME[--access-config-name=ACCESS_CONFIG_NAME; default="external-nat"][--network-interface=NETWORK_INTERFACE; default="nic0"][--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute instancesdelete-access-config is used to delete access configurations from networkinterfaces of Compute Engine virtual machines. Access configurations let youassign a public, external IP to a virtual machine. The delete-access-configoperation removes external IP from the instance interface. If there is trafficrouted to the external IP, after deleting the access config operation, trafficto the external IP will not reach the VM anymore.
EXAMPLES
To remove the externally accessible IP from a virtual machine namedexample-instance in zoneus-central1-a, run:
gcloudalphacomputeinstancesdelete-access-configexample-instance--zone=us-central1-a
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, referto the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
FLAGS
--access-config-name=ACCESS_CONFIG_NAME; default="external-nat"
Specifies the name of the access configuration to delete.external-nat is used as the default if thisflag is not provided.
--network-interface=NETWORK_INTERFACE; default="nic0"
Specifies the name of the network interface from which to delete the accessconfiguration. If this is not provided, thennic0 is used as the default.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a zone (interactive mode only).gcloud attempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloud prompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.

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

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
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.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If thiscommand fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early accessallowlist. These variants are also available:
gcloudcomputeinstancesdelete-access-config
