InstanceGroupManager

A managed instance group uses an instance template to create a group of identical instances. You control a managed instance group as a single entity.

Constructor

new InstanceGroupManager(zone, name)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
zone Zone
name string
Source:
See:
Example
const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-a');
const instanceGroupManager = zone.instanceGroupManager('web-servers');

get(optionsopt)

Get an instance group manager if it exists.

You may optionally use this to "get or create" an object by providing an object with autoCreate set to true. Any extra configuration that is normally required for the create method must be contained within this object as well.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
options options <optional>

Configuration object.

Properties
Name Type Description
autoCreate boolean

Automatically create the object if it does not exist. Default: false
Source:
Example
const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-a');
const instanceGroupManager = zone.instanceGroupManager('web-servers');

instanceGroupManager.get(function(err, instanceGroupManager, apiResponse) {
  // `instanceGroupManager` is an InstanceGroupManager object.
});

//-
// If the callback is omitted, we'll return a Promise.
//-
instanceGroupManager.get().then(function(data) {
  const instanceGroupManager = data[0];
  const apiResponse = data[1];
});

getManagedInstances(optionsopt, callback)

Get a list of managed VM instances in this instance group manager.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
options object <optional>

Instance search options.

Properties
Name Type Description
autoPaginate boolean

Have pagination handled automatically. Default: true.
filter string

Search filter in the format of {name} {comparison} {filterString}. - name: the name of the field to compare - comparison: the comparison operator, eq (equal) or ne (not equal) - filterString: the string to filter to. For string fields, this can be a regular expression.

});

//-
// To control how many API requests are made and page through the results
// manually, set `autoPaginate` to `false`.
