gce/Vm Lifecycle State

Product: Compute Engine
Step Type: AUTOMATED STEP

Description

This step is crucial for confirming the VM’s availability and operational readiness. It checks the VM’s lifecycle state and reports success if the VM is running or fails the check if the VM is in any other state, providing detailed status information for troubleshooting.

Failure Reason

The GCE Instance {full_resource_path} is in {status} state.

Failure Remediation

Restart VM {full_resource_path} and ensure VM lifecycle transitions from {status} to RUNNING.

Consult the following documentation:

• Restarting a compute instance: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/stop-start-instance#restart-vm
• Troubleshooting VM startup issues: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting/vm-startup#identify_the_reason_why_the_boot_disk_isnt_booting

Success Reason

The GCE Instance {full_resource_path} is in {status} state.

Skipped Reason

Could not validate VM lifecycle for GCE Instance {full_resource_path}.
