View, cancel, or delete resize requests in a MIG Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

This document describes how to do the following after you create a resize request in a managed instance group (MIG):

Before you begin

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to view, cancel, or delete resize requests in a MIG, ask your administrator to grant you the Compute Instance Admin (v1) (roles/compute.instanceAdmin.v1) IAM role on the project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the permissions required to view, cancel, or delete resize requests in a MIG. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the Required permissions section:

Required permissions

The following permissions are required to view, cancel, or delete resize requests in a MIG:

You might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles.

View your resize requests

To view information about the resize requests in a MIG, use one of the following methods:

View a list of resize requests in a MIG

To view a list of all resize requests in a MIG, select one of the following options:

To view a list of all resize requests in a regional MIG, use the gcloud CLI or REST API. Otherwise, to view a list of all resize requests in a zonal MIG, select any of the following options:

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Instance groups page.

    Go to Instance groups

  2. In the Name column, click the name of the MIG that contains resize requests.

    The overview page of the MIG opens.

  3. In the Resize requests row, click Edit resize requests.

    The Resize requests pane appears. If a resize request's Details column shows the Quota exceeded or ETA: indefinite value, then your request has encountered an error. You can click these values to learn more.

    For more information about troubleshooting errors, see View the details of a resize request in this document.

gcloud

To view a list of resize requests in a MIG, use the instance-groups managed resize-requests list command.

Replace the following:

The output is similar to the following for a zonal MIG:

NAME: rr-01
LOCATION: us-central1-a
SCOPE: zone
RESIZE_BY: 5
STATE: SUCCEEDED
REQUESTED_RUN_DURATION: P1D

NAME: rr-02
LOCATION: us-central1-a
SCOPE: zone
RESIZE_BY: 10
STATE: ACCEPTED
REQUESTED_RUN_DURATION: P3D

REST

Replace the following:

The output from a zonal MIG is similar to the following:

View the details of a resize request

You can view the details of a resize request to review its configuration and, optionally, troubleshoot it if the request hasn't succeeded yet.

If an accepted resize request isn't succeeding, then you can troubleshoot it by checking the status.lastAttempt.error.errors.code field in the request's details. The possible error codes are as follows:

Cancel resize requests in a MIG

You can cancel resize requests in a MIG to stop the MIG from attempting to create the requested number of VMs. You can cancel accepted (ACCEPTED) resize requests only. After canceling a resize request, you can either delete it or let Compute Engine automatically delete it after 14 days.

To cancel multiple resize requests simultaneously, use the Google Cloud console or Google Cloud CLI. Otherwise, to cancel a single resize request, select any of the following options:

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Instance groups page.

    Go to Instance groups

  2. In the Name column, click the name of the MIG that contains resize requests.

    The overview page of the MIG opens.

  3. In the Resize requests row, click Edit resize requests.

    The Resize requests pane appears.

  4. Select the resize requests to cancel.

  5. Click Cancel, and then click Confirm.

gcloud

To cancel resize requests in a MIG, use the instance-groups managed resize-requests cancel command.

Delete resize requests in a MIG

By default, Compute Engine automatically deletes a resize request 14 days after setting the request's state to one of the following:

However, you can immediately delete a resize request before then, as described in this section.

Deleting a successful resize request doesn't delete the VMs created through the request. The MIG automatically deletes those VMs at the end of their requested run duration. However, if your job has finished running and you no longer need the VMs, then delete the VMs.

To delete multiple resize requests simultaneously, use the Google Cloud console or gcloud CLI. Otherwise, to delete a single resize request, select any of the following options:

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Instance groups page.

    Go to Instance groups

  2. In the Name column, click the name of the MIG that contains resize requests.

    The overview page of the MIG opens.

  3. In the Resize requests row, click Edit resize requests.

    The Resize requests pane appears.

  4. Select the resize requests to delete.

  5. Click Delete, and then click Confirm.
