NAME
gcloud alpha compute backend-services remove-backend - remove a backend from a backend service
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute backend-services remove-backend BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME ([--instance-group=INSTANCE_GROUP : --instance-group-region=INSTANCE_GROUP_REGION | --instance-group-zone=INSTANCE_GROUP_ZONE]     | [--network-endpoint-group=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP : --global-network-endpoint-group | --network-endpoint-group-region=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_REGION | --network-endpoint-group-zone=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_ZONE]) [--global     | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute backend-services remove-backend is used to remove a backend from a backend service.

Before removing a backend, it is a good idea to "drain" the backend first. A backend can be drained by setting its capacity scaler to zero through 'gcloud compute backend-services edit'.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME
Name of the backend service to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
Exactly one of these must be specified:
Instance Group
--instance-group=INSTANCE_GROUP
Name of the instance group to remove from the backend service. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

At most one of these can be specified:
--instance-group-region=INSTANCE_GROUP_REGION
Region of the instance group to remove from the backend service. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--instance-group-zone=INSTANCE_GROUP_ZONE
Zone of the instance group to remove from the backend service. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

Network Endpoint Group
--network-endpoint-group=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP
Name of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

At most one of these can be specified:
--global-network-endpoint-group
If set, the network endpoint group is global.
--network-endpoint-group-region=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_REGION
Region of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--network-endpoint-group-zone=NETWORK_ENDPOINT_GROUP_ZONE
Zone of the network endpoint group to remove from the backend service. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
At most one of these can be specified:
--global
If set, the backend service is global.
--region=REGION
Region of the backend service to operate on. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
gcloud compute backend-services remove-backend
gcloud beta compute backend-services remove-backend
