I am trying to replicate a new instance from my current instance in Google Compute Engine (following Google instruction: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images#create_an_image_from_a_root_persistent_disk).
In step 3 (Terminate your instance), I am following the instruction ($ gcloud compute instances delete example-instance --keep-disks boot). However, it still asks me whether I want to completely delete the instance:
The following instances will be deleted. Attached disks configured to be auto-deleted will be deleted unless they are attached to any other instances. Deleting a disk is irreversible and any data on the disk will be lost. Do you want to continue (Y/n)? n
Am I still able to recover the instance or continue to create the image of my current instance as Google's instruction? If any body has try to replicate Google Compute Engine, please let me know. Thank you!
