(ALPHA) Create a new AlloyDB cluster within a given project.
To create a new cluster, run:
$ gcloud alpha alloydb clusters create my-cluster \ --region=us-central1 --password=postgres
- CLUSTER
AlloyDB cluster ID
- --password=PASSWORD
Initial postgres user password to set up during cluster creation.
- --region=REGION
Regional location (e.g. asia-east1, us-east1). See the full list of regions at https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/instance-locations.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --network=NETWORK
Network in the current project that the instance will be part of. To specify using a network with a shared VPC, use the full URL of the network. For an example host project, 'testproject', and shared network, 'testsharednetwork', this would be of the form:--network=projects/testproject/global/networks/testsharednetwork
- Automated backup policy. If unspecified, automated backups are enabled.
At most one of these can be specified:
- --disable-automated-backup
Disables automated backups on the cluster.
- Enable automated backup policy.
- --automated-backup-days-of-week=[DAYS_OF_WEEK,...]
Comma-separated list of days of the week to perform a backup. At least one day of the week must be provided. (e.g., --automated-backup-days-of-week=MONDAY,WEDNESDAY,SUNDAY). DAYS_OF_WEEK must be one of: MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --automated-backup-start-times=[START_TIMES,...]
Comma-separated list of times during the day to start a backup. At least one start time must be provided. The start times are assumed to be in UTC and required to be an exact hour in the format HH:00. (e.g., --automated-backup-start-times=01:00,13:00)
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --automated-backup-window=TIMEOUT_PERIOD
The length of the time window beginning at start time during which a backup can be taken. If a backup does not succeed within this time window, it will be canceled and considered failed. The backup window must be at least 5 minutes long. There is no upper bound on the window. If not set, it will default to 1 hour.
- Key resource - The Cloud KMS (Key Management Service) cryptokey that will be
used to protect the automated backups. The 'AlloyDB Service Agent' service account must hold permission 'Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter'. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.
- --automated-backup-encryption-key=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY
ID of the key or fully qualified identifier for the key. To set the kms-key attribute:
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key on the command line.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --automated-backup-encryption-key-keyring=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY_KEYRING
The KMS keyring of the key. To set the kms-keyring attribute:
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key-keyring on the command line.
- --automated-backup-encryption-key-location=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY_LOCATION
The Cloud location for the key. To set the kms-location attribute:
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key-location on the command line.
- --automated-backup-encryption-key-project=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PROJECT
The Cloud project for the key. To set the kms-project attribute:
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --automated-backup-encryption-key-project on the command line;
set the property core/project.
- Retention policy. If no retention policy is provided, all automated backups will
be retained.
At most one of these can be specified:
- --automated-backup-retention-count=RETENTION_COUNT
Number of most recent successful backups retained.
- --automated-backup-retention-period=RETENTION_PERIOD
Retention period of the backup relative to creation time. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.
- Key resource - The Cloud KMS (Key Management Service) cryptokey that will be
used to protect the cluster. The 'AlloyDB Service Agent' service account must hold permission 'Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter'. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.
- --kms-key=KMS_KEY
ID of the key or fully qualified identifier for the key. To set the kms-key attribute:
provide the argument --kms-key on the command line.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING
The KMS keyring of the key. To set the kms-keyring attribute:
provide the argument --kms-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --kms-keyring on the command line.
- --kms-location=KMS_LOCATION
The Cloud location for the key. To set the kms-location attribute:
provide the argument --kms-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --kms-location on the command line.
- --kms-project=KMS_PROJECT
The Cloud project for the key. To set the kms-project attribute:
provide the argument --kms-key on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --kms-project on the command line;
set the property core/project.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud alloydb clusters create
$ gcloud beta alloydb clusters create
