gcloud compute instance-groups managed create <NAME>

Create a Compute Engine managed instance group

Arguments

NameDescription
NAMEName of the managed instance group to create

Options

NameDescription
--account <ACCOUNT>Google Cloud Platform user account to use for invocation. Overrides the default *core/account* property value for this command invocation
--base-instance-name <BASE_INSTANCE_NAME>The base name to use for the Compute Engine instances that will be created with the managed instance group. If not provided base instance name will be the prefix of instance group name
--billing-project <BILLING_PROJECT>The Google Cloud Platform project that will be charged quota for operations performed in gcloud. If you need to operate on one project, but need quota against a different project, you can use this flag to specify the billing project. If both `billing/quota_project` and `--billing-project` are specified, `--billing-project` takes precedence. Run `$ gcloud config set --help` to see more information about `billing/quota_project`
--configuration <CONFIGURATION>The configuration to use for this command invocation. For more information on how to use configurations, run: `gcloud topic configurations`. You can also use the CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME environment variable to set the equivalent of this flag for a terminal session
--description <DESCRIPTION>An optional description for this group
--flags-file <YAML_FILE>A YAML or JSON file that specifies a *--flag*:*value* dictionary. Useful for specifying complex flag values with special characters that work with any command interpreter. Additionally, each *--flags-file* arg is replaced by its constituent flags. See $ gcloud topic flags-file for more information
--flatten <KEY>Flatten _name_[] output resource slices in _KEY_ into separate records for each item in each slice. Multiple keys and slices may be specified. This also flattens keys for *--format* and *--filter*. For example, *--flatten=abc.def* flattens *abc.def[].ghi* references to *abc.def.ghi*. A resource record containing *abc.def[]* with N elements will expand to N records in the flattened output. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: *--flatten*, *--sort-by*, *--filter*, *--limit*
--format <FORMAT>Set the format for printing command output resources. The default is a command-specific human-friendly output format. The supported formats are: `config`, `csv`, `default`, `diff`, `disable`, `flattened`, `get`, `json`, `list`, `multi`, `none`, `object`, `table`, `text`, `value`, `yaml`. For more details run $ gcloud topic formats
--health-check <HEALTH_CHECK>Name of the health check to operate on
--helpDisplay detailed help
--http-health-check <HTTP_HEALTH_CHECK>(DEPRECATED) HTTP health check object used for autohealing instances in this group. + HttpHealthCheck is deprecated. Use --health-check instead
--https-health-check <HTTPS_HEALTH_CHECK>(DEPRECATED) HTTPS health check object used for autohealing instances in this group. + HttpsHealthCheck is deprecated. Use --health-check instead
--impersonate-service-account <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL>For this gcloud invocation, all API requests will be made as the given service account instead of the currently selected account. This is done without needing to create, download, and activate a key for the account. In order to perform operations as the service account, your currently selected account must have an IAM role that includes the iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission for the service account. The roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role has this permission or you may create a custom role. Overrides the default *auth/impersonate_service_account* property value for this command invocation
--initial-delay <INITIAL_DELAY>Specifies the length of time during which the instance is known to be initializing and should not be autohealed even if unhealthy. This value cannot be greater than 1 hour. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats
--instance-redistribution-type <TYPE>Specifies the type of the instance redistribution policy. An instance redistribution type lets you enable or disable automatic instance redistribution across zones to meet the target distribution. The target distribution is a state of a regional managed instance group where all instances are spread out evenly across all target zones. + An instance redistribution type can be specified only for a non-autoscaled regional managed instance group. By default it is set to PROACTIVE. + The following types are available: + * NONE - The managed instance group does not redistribute instances across zones. + * PROACTIVE - The managed instance group proactively redistributes instances to meet its target distribution. + _TYPE_ must be one of: *NONE*, *PROACTIVE*
--log-httpLog all HTTP server requests and responses to stderr. Overrides the default *core/log_http* property value for this command invocation
--project <PROJECT_ID>The Google Cloud Platform project ID to use for this invocation. If omitted, then the current project is assumed; the current project can be listed using `gcloud config list --format='text(core.project)'` and can be set using `gcloud config set project PROJECTID`. + `--project` and its fallback `core/project` property play two roles in the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to operate on. It also specifies the project for API enablement check, quota, and billing. To specify a different project for quota and billing, use `--billing-project` or `billing/quota_project` property
--quietDisable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised. Overrides the default core/disable_prompts property value for this command invocation. This is equivalent to setting the environment variable `CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS` to 1
--region <REGION>Region of the managed instance group to create. If not specified, you may be prompted to select a region. + A list of regions can be fetched by running: + $ gcloud compute regions list + If you specify `--zones` flag this flag must be unspecified or specify the region to which the zones you listed belong. + Overrides the default *compute/region* property value for this command invocation
--size <SIZE>The initial number of instances you want in this group
--stateful-disk <STATEFUL_DISK>
  • Repeatable ♾
--target-pool <TARGET_POOL>Specifies any target pools you want the instances of this managed instance group to be part of
--template <TEMPLATE>Specifies the instance template to use when creating new instances
--trace-token <TRACE_TOKEN>Token used to route traces of service requests for investigation of issues. Overrides the default *core/trace_token* property value for this command invocation
--user-output-enabledPrint user intended output to the console. Overrides the default *core/user_output_enabled* property value for this command invocation. Use *--no-user-output-enabled* to disable
--verbosity <VERBOSITY>Override the default verbosity for this command. Overrides the default *core/verbosity* property value for this command invocation. _VERBOSITY_ must be one of: *debug*, *info*, *warning*, *error*, *critical*, *none*
--zone <ZONE>Zone of the managed instance group to create. If not specified, you may be prompted to select a zone. + A list of zones can be fetched by running: + $ gcloud compute zones list + Overrides the default *compute/zone* property value for this command invocation
--zones <ZONE>If this flag is specified a regional managed instance group will be created. The managed instance group will be in the same region as specified zones and will spread instances in it between specified zones. + All zones must belong to the same region. You may specify --region flag but it must be the region to which zones belong. This flag is mutually exclusive with --zone flag
