Google Cloud VM Instance Name Change
I would like to change the VM instance name on the Google Cloud admin portal to reflect the new names I have given various servers. Is there a way via the GUI to do so, or does this need to be done via the Google Shell?
You can run the following command:
$ gcloud beta compute instances set-name CURRENT_NAME —zone=ZONE —new-name=NEW_NAME
You'll need to shut down the VM first. And note that the Developer Console UI won't be aware of the rename until you do a browser refresh.
