NAME

: gcloud alpha compute target-instances create - create a target instance for handling traffic from a forwarding rule

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute target-instances create NAME --instance=INSTANCE [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--instance-zone=INSTANCE_ZONE] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute target-instances create is used to

create a target instance for handling traffic from one or more forwarding rules. Target instances are ideal for traffic that should be managed by a single source. For more information on target instances, see cloud.google.com/compute/docs/protocol-forwarding/#targetinstances

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME: Name of the target instance to operate on.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--instance=INSTANCE: The name of the virtual machine instance that will handle the traffic.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--description=DESCRIPTION

An optional, textual description of the target instance.

--instance-zone=INSTANCE_ZONE

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, it will be set to the same as zone. Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the target instance to operate on. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you may be prompted to select a zone.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

: $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

: $ gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

: $ gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --account, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES

This command is currently in ALPHA and may change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the right project, you will have to apply for early access and have your projects registered on the API whitelist to use it. To do so, contact Support at cloud.google.com/support These variants are also available:

: $ gcloud compute target-instances create $ gcloud beta compute target-instances create
