# Reboot a single instance within a virtual machine rental

> Reboots one instance in place; tenant data is preserved. Call it only for an instance whose `instances[].supportedFeatures` includes `guest-reboot`. Reports INVALID_INSTANCE_REF for an `instanceRef` outside this rental, REBOOT_NOT_SUPPORTED for a rental whose provider cannot reboot, and REBOOT_ALREADY_IN_PROGRESS while one is in flight.
