Hi @SanDiegoBoy,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
The error message "Request in scope 'scope_type: ZONE scope_name: "us-central1" ' sent to api endpoint in '[scope_type: REGION scope_name: "us-central1"]'" means you're trying to delete a zonal instance group using an API endpoint that expects a regional scope.
Understanding the Error
Zonal vs. Regional:
- Zonal Resources - Instance groups (and the VMs they manage) can be created within a specific zone (e.g., us-central1-a).
- Regional Resources - Some resources (like load balancers and health checks) are configured on a regional level (e.g., us-central1).
Check here the documentation to see the specific differences between zonal and regional.
Troubleshooting Steps and Solution
1. Identify the Exact Zone
- Using gcloud CLI:
gcloud compute instance-groups list --filter="name=instance-group-1"This command will list all instance groups, look for the LOCATION column in the output to find the specific zone where instance-group-1 is located. Let's say it's in us-central1-c for this example.
- Using Google Cloud Console:
- Go to the "Compute Engine" -> "Instance groups” -> “Overview" page.
- Find your instance group named instance-group-1.
- Look at the "Location" column. It will specify the exact zone.
2. Use the Correct Zone Scope When Deleting:
- Using gcloud CLI
Now that you know the zone (e.g., us-central1-c), use the --zone flag:gcloud compute instance-groups managed delete instance-group-1 --zone=us-central1-c
For your reference, you may refer to these relevant documentations:
- Delete Managed Instance Group - This is the official gcloud command documentation which specifies the --zone flag, the command requires.
- Instance Groups Overview - Provides more detailed information about how instance groups and zones work.
- Resource hierarchy - Details the concept of scopes for google cloud resources.
