Preview: Managed instance groups (MIGs) let you create pools of suspended and stopped virtual machine (VM) instances

## Feature **Preview:** Managed instance groups (MIGs) let you create pools of suspended and stopped virtual machine (VM) instances. You can manually suspend and stop VMs in a MIG to save on costs, or use suspended and stopped pools to speed up scale out operations of your MIG. For more information, see [Work with suspended and stopped VMs in a MIG](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups/suspended-and-stopped-vms-in-mig).
