Can you set "Enable delete protection" to VM instances in bulk in Google Cloud?

I can't find the answer to this anywhere, but can you set "Enable delete protection" to VM instances in bulk in Google Cloud? Perhaps there is a CLI or plugin to do this? I can see that you can apply this to existing and for newly created instances, but we have hundreds of instances that will take time to do.

Regards

It is possible via CLI with a loop. An example for machines in the same zone would be:

for vm in gcloud compute instances list --format="csv('NAME')"; do 
    gcloud compute instances update $vm --zone=[ZONE] --deletion-protection; 
done

You can easily extend it to work for multiple zones by getting NAME and ZONE from compute instances list
