(ALPHA) Create Compute Engine commitments.
To create a commitment called commitment-1 in the us-central1 region, with a 12-month plan, 9GB of memory and 4 vcpu cores, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute commitments create commitment-1 \ --plan=12-month --resources=memory=9GB,vcpu=4 \ --region=us-central1
- COMMITMENT
Name of the commitment to create.
- --plan=PLAN
Duration of the commitment. PLAN must be one of: 12-month, 36-month.
- Manage the commitment for particular resources.
At least one of these must be specified:
- --resources=[local-ssd=LOCAL-SSD],[memory=MEMORY],[vcpu=VCPU]
Resources to be included in the commitment. For details and examples of valid specifications, refer to the custom machine type guide https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/creating-instance-with-custom-machine-type#specifications.
- memory
The size of the memory, should include units (e.g. 3072MB or 9GB). If no units are specified, GB is assumed.
- vcpu
The number of the vCPU cores.
- local-ssd
The size of local SSD.
- --resources-accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]
Manage the configuration of the type and number of accelerator cards to include in the commitment.
- count
The number of accelerators to include.
- type
The specific type (e.g. nvidia-tesla-k80 for NVIDIA Tesla K80) of the accelerator. Use gcloud compute accelerator-types list to learn about all available accelerator types.
- --auto-renew
Enable auto renewal for the commitment.
- --merge-source-commitments=MERGE_SOURCE_COMMITMENTS
Creates the new commitment by merging the specified source commitments and combining their resources.
- --region=REGION
Region of the commitment to create. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
A list of regions can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute regions list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.
- --split-source-commitment=SPLIT_SOURCE_COMMITMENT
Creates the new commitment by splitting the specified source commitment and redistributing the specified resources.
- --type=TYPE; default="general-purpose"
Type of commitment. memory-optimized indicates that the commitment is for memory-optimized VMs. TYPE must be one of: accelerator-optimized, compute-optimized, compute-optimized-c2d, general-purpose, general-purpose-e2, general-purpose-n2, general-purpose-n2d, general-purpose-t2d, graphics-optimized, memory-optimized, memory-optimized-m3.
- Manage the reservations to be created with the commitment.
At most one of these can be specified:
- --reservations-from-file=RESERVATIONS_FROM_FILE
Path to a YAML file of multiple reservations' configuration.
- Manage the reservation to be created with the commitment.
- --reservation=RESERVATION
Name of the reservation to operate on.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --reservation-zone=RESERVATION_ZONE
Zone of the reservation to operate on. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).
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.
- Manage the specific SKU reservation properties to create.
- --accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE]
Manage the configuration of the type and number of accelerator cards attached.
- count
The number of accelerators to attach to each instance in the reservation.
- type
The specific type (e.g. nvidia-tesla-k80 for nVidia Tesla K80) of accelerator to attach to instances in the reservation. Use gcloud compute accelerator-types list to learn about all available accelerator types.
- --local-ssd=[interface=INTERFACE],[size=SIZE]
Manage the size and the interface of local SSD to use. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for more information.
- interface
The kind of disk interface exposed to the VM for this SSD. Valid values are scsi and nvme. SCSI is the default and is supported by more guest operating systems. NVME may provide higher performance.
- size
The size of the local SSD in base-2 GB.
- --machine-type=MACHINE_TYPE
The type of machine (name only) that has a fixed number of vCPUs and a fixed amount of memory. You can also specify a custom machine type by using the pattern custom-number_of_CPUs-amount_of_memory-for example, custom-32-29440.
- --maintenance-interval=MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL
Specifies how infrastructure upgrades should be applied to the VM. MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL must be (currently only one value is supported):
- PERIODIC
VMs receive infrastructure and hypervisor updates on a periodic basis, minimizing the number of maintenance operations (live migrations or terminations) on an individual VM. Security updates will still be applied as soon as they are available.
- --min-cpu-platform=MIN_CPU_PLATFORM
Optional minimum CPU platform of the reservation to create.
- --require-specific-reservation
Indicates whether the reservation can be consumed by VMs with "any reservation" defined. If enabled, then only VMs that target this reservation by name using --reservation-affinity=specific can consume from this reservation.
- --vm-count=VM_COUNT
The number of VM instances that are allocated to this reservation. The value of this field must be an int in the range [1, 1000].
- Manage the properties of a shared reservation to create
- --share-setting=SHARE_SETTING
Specify if this reservation is shared, and if so, the type of sharing. If you omit this flag, this value is local (not shared) by default. SHARE_SETTING must be one of: local, projects, folders.
- --share-with=SHARE_WITH,[SHARE_WITH,...]
If this reservation is shared (--share-setting is not local), provide a list of all of the specific projects or folders that this reservation is shared with. List must contain project IDs or project numbers or folder IDs.
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 compute commitments create
$ gcloud beta compute commitments create
