Recently, for a Project I was working on. I had to add another POD to the existing ACI setup & one of the general recommendations is that the switches need to be in the same version as the existing switches running in the ACI environment which are already in production. hence, we need to Upgrade ACI switches when they are not connected to fabric.

If you want to kickstart your career in a field that has a lot of potential for growth and cutting-edge tech, then becoming a blockchain developer is a good option for you. There is a huge demand for certified Blockchain developers, but there are not many of them.
We have been using the cloud console to manage the managed instance groups. Let us now learn how to use the command line interface to manage the instance groups. It is important to note that we need to set the project id before we can execute any of these commands mentioned below. Else, you will receive an error. You can use the below command to set the project id.
gcloud config set project <project name>You can gradually upgrade an instance in an instance group to a new instance template. This type of upgrade is called as Rolling upgrade. Let us say we have 10 instances running and we want to upgrade only 2 instances at once. this is the default. We can also set a canary template, meaning if the upgrade of the first two instances is successful & tested. Then all the remaining instances will be upgraded at once.
Read MoreInstance groups are used to manage a group of instances as a single entity. You can manage similar virtual machines having similar life cycles as a single unit.
There are 2 types of instance group that you can create namely managed or unmanaged instance group.
Below are few compute instance commands in gcloud.
gcloud compute instances start <instance 1> <instance 2 > //The instance 1 & 2 are created
gcloud compute instances stop <instance 1> < instance 2 > //The instances 1 & are stopped
gcloud compute instances delete <instance 1> // The instance 1 is deleted
gcloud compute instances delete <instance 1 > --delete-disks=<value> //deletes the boot disk along with instance
gcloud compute instances delete <instance 1> --keep-disks=<value> // keeps the boot disk even if the vm is deleted
gcloud compute instances move <instance 1> --zone us-central1-b --destination-zone us-central-f // moves the instance from central-1b zone to central-f zonet out a
gcloud compute instanceThe typical Command Structure in Gcloud is “gcloud <group> <subgroup> <action>”. “Group” is usually the service you are working with like, compute, container, config or iam etc… “Subgroup” is the component we are referring to in the group. for example, if we take compute as a group then the instances, images, instance-templates, regions & zones are all subgroups. “action” is the action you want to take like list, create, delete & describe. Now let us look at some examples.
Read MoreThe Command line interface in GCP is called as Gcloud. Most GCP services can be managed from Gcloud. We can create, delete and update virtual machines, you can manage instance groups & databases etc…
While there are some more service specific CLI tools in GCP, Gcloud is the most commonly used one. The following is the list of some service specific cli tools about which we will deal later.
Read MoreWhen the host system in needs to be updated live migration of the virtual instance happens. The virtual instance is migrated to a different host system from the same zone. The properties of the instance do not change. However, this is not supported for instances with GPU or for Spot instances. The live migration option can be selected when creating the virtual instance under the availability policy.
