Deleting a deployment

This page explains how to delete a Game Servers deployment.

Before you begin

Before you start, we recommend you familiarize yourself with key concepts in the Game Servers Overview. Make sure you have also performed the following tasks:

• Ensure that you have enabled the Game Services API.
Enable Game Services API
• Either choose a shell with Cloud SDK installed, or use an API client:

Cloud Shell

To launch Cloud Shell, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Google Cloud Console.

   Google Cloud Console

2. From the upper-right corner of the console, click the Activate Cloud Shell button:

A Cloud Shell session opens inside a frame lower on the console. You use this shell to run gcloud commands.

Local shell

To install gcloud, install the Cloud SDK, which includes the gcloud command-line tool.

Verify that you have set desired default project for gcloud command-line tool (otherwise you need to specify flag --project explicitly for each command later):

gcloud config list project

If not you can run the following command to set a default project, replacing PROJECT_ID with your desired project ID :

gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

Run the following command to verify your version of the Google Cloud SDK. Game Servers requires version 306.0.0 or higher of the SDK.

gcloud version

To update your installation, run the following command:

gcloud components update

curl / PowerShell

To use the REST API with curl or Windows PowerShell, do the following:

1. Create a service account.
2. Download a private key as a JSON file.

3. Set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path of the JSON file that contains your service account key. This variable only applies to your current shell session, so if you open a new session, set the variable again.

   Example: Linux or macOS

   export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="KEY_PATH"

   Replace KEY_PATH with the path of the JSON file that contains your service account key.

   For example:

   export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/home/user/Downloads/service-account-file.json"

   Example: Windows

   For PowerShell:

   $env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="KEY_PATH"

   Replace KEY_PATH with the path of the JSON file that contains your service account key.

   For example:

   $env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="C:\Users\username\Downloads\service-account-file.json"

   For command prompt:

   set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=KEY_PATH

   Replace KEY_PATH with the path of the JSON file that contains your service account key.

Client Library

Google Cloud Game Servers can be controlled programmatically using a client library. See Client Libraries Overview for instructions on using the library and authenticating.

Deleting a deployment

Before you delete a Game Servers deployment, make sure you delete all configs under the deployment.

Console

1. In the Cloud Console, go to the Game Server Deployments page.

   Go to Game Servers

2. You can use the filter box to filter the deployments list by different properties.

3. In the last table column, click the ellipses and select Remove deployment.

gcloud

You can delete a deployment using the gcloud command-line tool.

To delete a deployment, run the following command and replace deploymentID with the identifier for a deployment you have previously created:

gcloud game servers deployments delete deploymentID

REST & CMD LINE

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_ID: your Google Cloud project ID listed in the IAM Settings
• DEPLOYMENT_ID: the user-defined identifier for the deployment

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: Ensure you have set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path for your service account private key file.

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
"https://gameservices.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global/gameServerDeployments/DEPLOYMENT_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: Ensure you have set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path for your service account private key file.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth application-default print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
  -Method DELETE `
  -Headers $headers `
  -Uri "https://gameservices.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global/gameServerDeployments/DEPLOYMENT_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.gaming.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global/gameServerDeployments/DEPLOYMENT_ID",
    "verb": "delete",
    "requestedCancellation": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
}

Verifying that your deployment has been deleted

To verify that you successfully deleted the deployment, list your deployments using the gcloud command-line tool.

To list all deployments, run the following command:

gcloud game servers deployments list

Your deleted deployment no longer appears in the output of the command.
