Updates a managed instance group using the information that you specify in the request. This operation is marked as DONE when the group is patched even if the instances in the group are still in the process of being patched. You must separately verify the status of the individual instances with the listManagedInstances method. This method supports PATCH semantics and uses the JSON merge patch format and processing rules.
If you update your group to specify a new template or instance configuration, it's possible that your intended specification for each VM in the group is different from the current state of that VM. To learn how to apply an updated configuration to the VMs in a MIG, see Updating instances in a MIG.
PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/instanceGroupManagers/{instanceGroupManager} The URLs use gRPC Transcoding syntax.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
project |
Project ID for this request. |
zone |
The name of the zone where you want to create the managed instance group. |
instanceGroupManager |
The name of the instance group manager. Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource
|
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
requestId |
An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported ( |
The request body contains data with the following structure:

distributionPolicy.zones[]object
Zones where the regional managed instance group will create and manage its instances. By default, a regional MIG doesn't automatically select an AI zone to create instances, even if an AI zone is available in the specified region. To create instances in an AI zone in the selected region, you must explicitly specify it in the distribution policy together with the other preferred zones.
distributionPolicy.zones[].zonestring
The URL of the zone. The zone must exist in the region where the managed instance group is located.
distributionPolicy.targetShapeenum

instanceTemplatestring
The URL of the instance template that is specified for this managed instance group. The group uses this template to create all new instances in the managed instance group. The templates for existing instances in the group do not change unless you run recreateInstances, run applyUpdatesToInstances, or set the group's updatePolicy.type to PROACTIVE.
Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource instanceTemplate:
compute.instanceTemplates.getcompute.instanceTemplates.useReadOnlyversions[]object
Specifies the instance templates used by this managed instance group to create instances.
Each version is defined by an instanceTemplate and a name. Every version can appear at most once per instance group. This field overrides the top-level instanceTemplate field. Read more about the relationships between these fields. Exactly one version must leave the targetSize field unset. That version will be applied to all remaining instances. For more information, read about canary updates.
versions[].namestring
Name of the version. Unique among all versions in the scope of this managed instance group.
versions[].instanceTemplatestring
The URL of the instance template that is specified for this managed instance group. The group uses this template to create new instances in the managed instance group until the targetSize for this version is reached. The templates for existing instances in the group do not change unless you run recreateInstances, run applyUpdatesToInstances, or set the group's updatePolicy.type to PROACTIVE; in those cases, existing instances are updated until the targetSize for this version is reached.
Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource instanceTemplate:
compute.instanceTemplates.getcompute.instanceTemplates.useReadOnlyversions[].targetSizeobject
Specifies the intended number of instances to be created from the instanceTemplate. The final number of instances created from the template will be equal to:
targetSize.fixed or instanceGroupManager.targetSize is used.percent, the targetSize would be (targetSize.percent/100 * InstanceGroupManager.targetSize) If there is a remainder, the number is rounded.version. Read Starting a canary update for more information.

Output only. Absolute value of VM instances calculated based on the specific mode.
fixed, then the calculated
value is equal to the fixed value.percent, then the
calculated
value is percent/100 * targetSize. For example,

is a remainder, the number is rounded.allInstancesConfigobject
Specifies configuration that overrides the instance template configuration for the group.
allInstancesConfig.propertiesobject
Properties to set on all instances in the group.
You can add or modify properties using the instanceGroupManagers.patch or regionInstanceGroupManagers.patch. After setting allInstancesConfig on the group, you must update the group's instances to apply the configuration. To apply the configuration, set the group's updatePolicy.type field to use proactive updates or use the applyUpdatesToInstances method.
allInstancesConfig.properties.metadatamap (key: string, value: string)
The metadata key-value pairs that you want to patch onto the instance. For more information, see Project and instance metadata.
allInstancesConfig.properties.labelsmap (key: string, value: string)
The label key-value pairs that you want to patch onto the instance.
instanceGroupstring
Output only. The URL of the Instance Group resource.
targetPools[]string
The URLs for all TargetPool resources to which instances in the instanceGroup field are added. The target pools automatically apply to all of the instances in the managed instance group.
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource targetPools:
compute.targetPools.getbaseInstanceNamestring
The base instance name is a prefix that you want to attach to the names of all VMs in a MIG. The maximum character length is 58 and the name must comply with RFC1035 format.
When a VM is created in the group, the MIG appends a hyphen and a random four-character string to the base instance name. If you want the MIG to assign sequential numbers instead of a random string, then end the base instance name with a hyphen followed by one or more hash symbols. The hash symbols indicate the number of digits. For example, a base instance name of "vm-###" results in "vm-001" as a VM name. @pattern [a-z](([-a-z0-9]{0,57})|([-a-z0-9]{0,51}-#{1,10}(\[[0-9]{1,10}\])?))
fingerprintstring (bytes format)
Fingerprint of this resource. This field may be used in optimistic locking. It will be ignored when inserting an InstanceGroupManager. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to update the InstanceGroupManager, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.
To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve an InstanceGroupManager.

compute.healthChecks.usecompute.httpHealthChecks.usecompute.httpsHealthChecks.useautoHealingPolicies[].initialDelaySecinteger
The initial delay is the number of seconds that a new VM takes to initialize and run its startup script. During a VM's initial delay period, the MIG ignores unsuccessful health checks because the VM might be in the startup process. This prevents the MIG from prematurely recreating a VM. If the health check receives a healthy response during the initial delay, it indicates that the startup process is complete and the VM is ready. The value of initial delay must be between 0 and 3600 seconds. The default value is 0.

PROACTIVE (default): The group attempts to maintain an even distribution of VM instances across zones in the region.NONE: For non-autoscaled groups, proactive redistribution is disabled.updatePolicy.minimalActionenum
Minimal action to be taken on an instance. Use this option to minimize disruption as much as possible or to apply a more disruptive action than is necessary.
REFRESH. If your update requires a more disruptive action, Compute Engine performs the necessary action to execute the update.RESTART or REPLACE. For example, Compute Engine does not need to restart a VM to change its metadata. But if your application reads instance metadata only when a VM is restarted, you can set the minimal action to RESTART in order to pick up metadata changes.updatePolicy.mostDisruptiveAllowedActionenum
Most disruptive action that is allowed to be taken on an instance. You can specify either NONE to forbid any actions, REFRESH to avoid restarting the VM and to limit disruption as much as possible. RESTART to allow actions that can be applied without instance replacing or REPLACE to allow all possible actions. If the Updater determines that the minimal update action needed is more disruptive than most disruptive allowed action you specify it will not perform the update at all.
updatePolicy.maxSurgeobject
The maximum number of instances that can be created above the specified targetSize during the update process. This value can be either a fixed number or, if the group has 10 or more instances, a percentage. If you set a percentage, the number of instances is rounded if necessary. The default value for maxSurge is a fixed value equal to the number of zones in which the managed instance group operates.
At least one of either maxSurge or maxUnavailable must be greater than 0. Learn more about maxSurge.
updatePolicy.maxSurge.fixedinteger

value is equal to the fixed value.percent, then the
calculated
value is percent/100 * targetSize. For example,
the calculated value of a 80% of a managed instance group
with 150 instances would be (80/100 * 150) = 120 VM instances. If there
is a remainder, the number is rounded.updatePolicy.maxUnavailableobject
The maximum number of instances that can be unavailable during the update process. An instance is considered available if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
RUNNING.HEALTHY at least once. If there is no health check
on the group, then the instance only needs to have a status of
RUNNING to be considered available.This value can be either a fixed number or, if the group has 10 or more instances, a percentage. If you set a percentage, the number of instances is rounded if necessary. The default value for maxUnavailable is a fixed value equal to the number of zones in which the managed instance group operates.
At least one of either maxSurge or maxUnavailable must be greater than 0. Learn more about maxUnavailable.
