Unrecognized argument "--deletion-protection" for gcloud.compute.instances.update

I've setup a one-click LAMP stack on Google Cloud Engine, and that created a VM instance that I'd like to protect against accidental deletion

However, whenever I try to run the command using the gcloud command line tool, I get the following error:

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.update) unrecognized arguments: --deletion-protection

Did anyone ever got this to work? Is there a mistake in the documentation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

Can you post the exact command you are running? Because I tried both the commands in the documentation and in both cases I succeed in setting up the protection:

gcloud compute instances create new-instance --deletion-protection

gcloud compute instances update instance-name --deletion-protection

On the other hand which is the version of the Google SDK you are using (check through gcloud version)? Mine it is "Google Cloud SDK 183.0.0"

You can consider to update it and retry with:

gcloud components update
