If you want to suspend the instance group update, automatic recovery, and scaling processes, pause them. This will not stop the VM instances.
To pause instance group processes:
Management console
API
- In the management console
, open the folder containing the instance group in question. - Select Compute Cloud.
- In the left-hand panel, select
Instance groups. - In the line with the instance group, click
and select Pause. - In the window that opens, click Pause.
Use the pauseProcesses REST API method for the InstanceGroup resource or the InstanceGroupService/PauseProcesses gRPC API call.
