title: In google cloud platform, can we name the instances in a specific series in instance group?
body: <p>I'm new to the google cloud platform, I've created an instance group. I want to know that, Is it possible to name the instances of instance group in a specific series?</p>
  <p>For eg. :</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>my-GCP-instance-001,<br/>
  my-GCP-instance-002,<br/>
  my-GCP-instance-003</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>then if a new instance is created it should acquire the name</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>my-GCP-instance-004</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>let's say instance group scales in (kills an instance), let's assume it <strong>terminates</strong></p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>my-GCP-instance-002</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>when it scales out and creates a new instance it should identify the <strong>missing series</strong></p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>my-GCP-instance-002</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>and name its instance</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>my-GCP-instance-002.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Let me know if it is possible, it will be very helpful.</p>
