If you want to suspend the instance group update, automatic recovery, and scaling processes, you can pause them. This will not stop the actual instances.
To pause an instance group:
Management console
API
- In the management console, open the folder the instance group is in.
- Select Compute Cloud.
- In the left-hand panel, select Instance groups.
- In the line with the VM 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.
