GCP creates random replicator instance

I have created a free trial instance in GCP. Now I am seeing 2 instance in VM instance dashboard.

One is the instance that I am using and other is ce-replicator-goo16-2e8##f6b. I tried to delete this instance but it automatically comes up again. I am not sure why this instance is for. Will I be charged for this instance as well.

IF anyone have idea on this, Please help.

Thanks J

Did you use CloudEndure migration service to bring your instance into GCP? If so it seems like Service Account having Owner permission recreating the instance "ce-replicator-goo16-2e8##f6b". If this is the situation, you need to delete the service account used for migration and then would be able to delete the instance. – Rahi
Thanks for reply. Yeah, I have used cloudendure migration.I have deleted both the instance and service account. Hopefully, It should not come back. – Jitesh

It happens when you are using CloudEndure migration service to bring your instance into GCP. In such cases, Service Account having Owner permission recreating the instance "ce-replicator-goo16-2e8##f6b". Deleting the "service account" used for migration would allow deleting those temporary instance.
