gcloud alpha compute disks bulk create - create multiple Compute Engine disks
gcloud alpha compute disks bulk create --source-consistency-group-policy=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_POLICY (--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute disks bulk create facilitates the creation of multiple Compute Engine disks with a single command. Currently, this includes the ability to consistently clone a set of Async PD secondary disks with the same consistency group policy.
To consistently clone secondary disks with the same consistency group policy 'projects/example-project/regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy' to target zone 'us-central1-a', run:
$ gcloud alpha compute disks bulk create \ --source-consistency-group-policy=projects/example-project/\ regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy \ --zone=us-central1-a
- --source-consistency-group-policy=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_POLICY
URL of the source consistency group resource policy. The resource policy is always in the region of the source disks.
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- --region=REGION
Target region of the created disks, which currently must be the same as the source region. 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.
- --zone=ZONE
Target zone of the created disks, which currently must be the same as the source zone. 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.
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.
