gcloud compute instance-groups managed delete-instances - delete instances that are managed by a managed instance group

gcloud compute instance-groups managed delete-instancesNAME--instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…][--skip-instances-on-validation-error][--region=REGION    |--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

The command returns the operation status per instance, which might beFAIL,SUCCESS,SKIPPED, orMEMBER_NOT_FOUND.MEMBER_NOT_FOUND is returned only forregional groups when the gcloud command-line tool wasn't able to resolve thezone from the instance name.SKIPPED isreturned only when the--skip-instances-on-validation-error flag isused and the instance is not a member of the group or is already being deletedor abandoned.

If you want to keep the underlying virtual machines but still remove them fromthe managed instance group, use the abandon-instances command instead.

NAME

--instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…]

--skip-instances-on-validation-error

Specifies whether the request should proceed even if the request includesinstances that are not members of the group or that are already being deleted orabandoned.
