POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

The name of this cluster.

FLAGS

--no-address

If provided, the instances in the cluster will not be assigned external IP addresses.
If omitted the instances in the cluster will each be assigned an ephemeral external IP address.
Note: Dataproc VMs need access to the Dataproc API. This can be achieved without external IP addresses using Private Google Access (cloud.google.com/compute/docs/private-google-access

--region=REGION

Cloud Dataproc region to use. Each Cloud Dataproc region constitutes an independent resource namespace constrained to deploying instances into Compute Engine zones inside the region. The default value of global is a special multi-region namespace which is capable of deploying instances into all Compute Engine zones globally, and is disjoint from other Cloud Dataproc regions. Overrides the default dataproc/region property value for this command invocation.

--scopes=SCOPE,[SCOPE,...]

$ gcloud dataproc clusters create example-cluster \
    --scopes www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.admin

$ gcloud dataproc clusters create example-cluster \
    --scopes sqlservice,bigquery

The following minimum scopes are necessary for the cluster to function properly and are always added, even if not explicitly specified:

www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.write

If the --scopes flag is not specified, the following default scopes are also included:

www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.admin.table www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.data www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control

If you want to enable all scopes use the 'cloud-platform' scope.
SCOPE can be either the full URI of the scope or an alias. default scopes are assigned to all instances. Available aliases are:
