gcloud compute instances move

NAME: gcloud compute instances move - move an instance and its attached persistent disks between zones
SYNOPSIS: gcloud compute instances move INSTANCE_NAME --destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE [--async] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: (DEPRECATED) This command is deprecated. Please see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/moving-instance-across-zones for an alternative method. gcloud compute instances move moves a Compute Engine virtual machine from one zone to another. Moving a virtual machine might incur downtime if the guest OS must be shut down in order to quiesce disk volumes prior to snapshotting.
For example, running the following command moves the instance called example-instance-1 with its attached persistent disks, currently running in us-central1-b, to us-central1-f.
gcloud compute instances move example-instance-1 --zone=us-central1-b --destination-zone=us-central1-f

Note: Moving VMs or disks by using the gcloud compute instances move command might cause unexpected behavior. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting/known-issues#moving_vms_or_disks_using_the_moveinstance_api_or_the_causes_unexpected_behavior.
Please note that gcloud compute instances move does not yet support instances which have regional persistent disks attached. Please see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persistent-disk for more details.
EXAMPLES: To move instance-1 from us-central-a to europe-west1-d, run:
gcloud compute instances move instance-1 --zone=us-central1-a --destination-zone=europe-west1-d
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to operate on. 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
REQUIRED FLAGS: --destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE

The zone to move the instance to.
OPTIONAL FLAGS: --async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user 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.
