I have a VM running on Google cloud that I would like to start and stop.

I am able to start/stop it from another VM in the same project using the command

sudo gcloud compute instances stop my-daily-data-vm --zone us-central1-c

Now, I would like to start/stop it from my Windows desktop. (FYI I do have gsutil installed on it). Is there a way I can do this?

Thank you :)

The same gcloud CLI is available for Windows in your Command Prompt or Powershell. Here's the quickstart from Google.

The command to start/stop your VM is the exact same on all platforms.

p.s. don't use sudo for the gcloud command.

  • If you cannot install `gcloud` on your machine, you can always use plink to executy command on ssh hosts remotely. – bjoster Jun 07 '20 at 14:13
