gcloud compute instance-groups managed recreate-instances NAME --instances=INSTANCE,[INSTANCE,…] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
gcloud compute instance-groups managed recreate-instances is used
to recreate one or more instances in a managed instance group. The underlying
virtual machine instances are deleted and recreated based on the latest instance
template configured for the managed instance group.
The command returns the operation status per instance, which might be
FAIL,
SUCCESS, or
MEMBER_NOT_FOUND.
MEMBER_NOT_FOUND is returned only for
regional groups when the gcloud command-line tool wasn't able to resolve the
zone from the instance name.
