compute engine guides send feedback prevent compute instances from consuming reservations stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences this document explains how to prevent compute engine instances from consuming reservations to learn more about reservations see reservations of compute engine zonal resources automatically consumed reservations allow instances with properties that match the reservations to automatically consume them to prevent instances from consuming a reservation do one of the following configure instances to not consume reservations as described in this document create or update instances with properties that don t match the reservation you can avoid consuming reservations when you want to use your instances for tasks like testing debugging or isolated deployments limitations you can only update an existing instance to not consume reservations if the instance is configured to automatically consume matching reservations before you begin if you haven t already set up authentication authentication verifies your identity for access to google cloud services and apis to run code or samples from a local development environment you can authenticate to compute engine by selecting one of the following options select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page console when you use the google

grant you the compute instance admin v1 roles compute instanceadmin v1 iam role on the project for more information about granting roles see manage access to projects folders and organizations this predefined role contains the permissions required to prevent a compute instance from consuming reservations to see the exact permissions that are required expand the required permissions section required permissions the following permissions are required to prevent a compute instance from consuming reservations to create reservations compute reservations create on the project to create

custom roles or other predefined roles prevent reservation consumption to prevent a compute instance from consuming reservations set its reservation affinity reservationaffinity property to not consume reservations this property controls if an instance can consume matching reservations a specific reservation or no reservations to prevent one or more instances from consuming reservations use one of the following methods prevent consumption in an existing instance prevent consumption while creating an instance prevent consumption while creating instances in bulk prevent consumption while creating an instance template prevent consumption in an existing instance you can update a running instance so that it no longer automatically consumes reservations you must restart the instance to make the changes effective as described in this section to prevent an existing instance from consuming reservations select one of the following options gcloud create an empty yaml file to export the properties of an instance into the yaml file that you ve just created use the gcloud compute instances export command gcloud compute instances export instance_name destination yaml_file zone zone replace the following instance_name the name of the instance yaml_file the path to the empty yaml file that you created in the previous step zone the zone where the instance exists in the yaml configuration file set the consumereservationtype to no_reservation reservationaffinity consumereservationtype no_reservation tip to avoid getting an error such as error gcloud compute instances update from file cannot parse yaml expected type for field value found true type add quotes around any label values of yes or no in the exported instance configuration file this indicates the values are strings not boolean values to update the instance and restart it use the gcloud compute instances update from file command with the most disruptive allowed action flag set to restart gcloud compute instances update from file instance_name most disruptive allowed action restart source yaml_file zone zone replace the following instance_name the name of the instance yaml_file the path to the yaml file with the configuration data that you modified in the previous step zone the zone where the instance exists rest to view the properties of an existing instance make a get request to the instances get method get https compute googleapis com compute v1 projects project_id zones zone instances instance_name replace the following project_id the id of the project where you created the instance zone the zone where the instance exists instance_name the name of the instance store the output from the get request in a file or text editor modify the copied output to change the consumereservationtype field to no_reservation reservationaffinity consumereservationtype no_reservation to update the instance and restart it make a put request to the instances update method in the request do the following in the request url include the mostdisruptiveallowedaction query parameter set to restart for the request body use the output from the get request that you edited in a previous step the request is similar to the following example put https compute googleapis com compute v1 projects example project zones us central 1 instances instance 01 mostdisruptiveallowedaction
