Reference documentation and code samples for the Compute Engine v1 API enum InstanceGroupManagersApplyUpdatesRequest.Types.MinimalAction.
The minimal action that you want to perform on each instance during the update: - REPLACE: At minimum, delete the instance and create it again. - RESTART: Stop the instance and start it again. - REFRESH: Do not stop the instance and limit disruption as much as possible. - NONE: Do not disrupt the instance at all. By default, the minimum action is NONE. If your update requires a more disruptive action than you set with this flag, the necessary action is performed to execute the update.
Additional supported values which may be not listed in the enum directly due to technical reasons:
NONE
REFRESH
REPLACE
RESTART
