💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'zone' or 'status' outputs other instance details.

Forgetting to use 'value()' format to get a clean list.

The value(name) format outputs only the instance names as a list.

4fill in blank

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'status' or 'machineType' instead of 'zone' will show wrong columns.

Not separating fields with a comma inside the table format.

The table(name, zone) format outputs a table with instance names and zones.

5fill in blank

Using 'STOPPED' in filter will show stopped instances, not running.

Mixing up field names in the table format.

The filter status=RUNNING selects running instances. The table shows name, zone, and status columns.
