.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute target\-pools remove\-instances\fR is used to remove one or
more instances from a target pool. For more information on health checks and
load balancing, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load\-balancing\-and\-autoscaling/



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fINAME\fR

The name of the target pool from which to remove the instances.


.RE
.sp

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-instances\fR=\fIINSTANCE\fR,[\fIINSTANCE\fR,...]

Specifies a list of instances to remove from the target pool.


.RE
.sp

.SH "OPTIONAL FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-instances\-zone\fR=\fIINSTANCES_ZONE\fR

Zone of the instances to remove from the target pool. If not specified and the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR 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
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

Region of the target pool to operate on. If not specified, it will be set to the
region of the instances. Overrides the default \fBcompute/region\fR property
value for this command invocation.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the instances to remove from the target pool. DEPRECATED, use
\-\-instances\-zone. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a zone.
Overrides the default \fBcompute/zone\fR property value for this command
invocation.
