Migrate VM to Other Network

Here’s how to move a VM to another network.

Stop the VM.

gcloud compute instances stop server-name \
--zone=us-central1-c \
--project project-id

Migrate the VM. Use self link for network and subnetwork.

gcloud compute instances network-interfaces update server-name \
--zone=us-central1-c \
--network-interface=nic0 \
--network=your-network \
--subnetwork=your-sub-network \
--project project-id

Start the VM.

gcloud compute instances start server-name \
--zone=us-central1-c \
--project project-id

GCP Rename VM

There’s a new beta command to rename a GCP VM.

You must stop instance first.

gcloud compute instances stop server-name \
--zone us-central1-c \
--project your-project-id

Rename the instance.

gcloud beta compute instances set-name old-server-name \
--new-name=new-server-name \
--zone us-central1-c \
--project your-project-id

Start the instance.

gcloud compute instances start server-name \
--zone us-central1-c \
--project your-project-id

Login.

gcloud compute ssh server-name \
--zone us-central1-c \
--project your-project-id \
--internal-ip &
