SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute sole-tenancy node-groups create NAME --node-template=NODE_TEMPLATE --target-size=TARGET_SIZE [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--maintenance-policy=MAINTENANCE_POLICY] [--maintenance-window-start-time=START_TIME] [--zone=ZONE] [--autoscaler-mode=AUTOSCALER_MODE : --max-nodes=MAX_NODES --min-nodes=MIN_NODES] [--share-setting=SHARE_SETTING : --share-with=PROJECT,[PROJECT,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Create a Compute Engine node group.

EXAMPLES

To create a node group, run:

$ gcloud alpha compute sole-tenancy node-groups create \ my-node-group --node-template=example-template --target-size=4

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

Name of the node group to operate on.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--node-template=NODE_TEMPLATE

The name of the node template resource to be set for this node group.

--target-size=TARGET_SIZE

The target initial number of nodes in the node group.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--description=DESCRIPTION

An optional description of this resource.

--maintenance-policy=MAINTENANCE_POLICY

Determines the maintenance behavior during host maintenance events. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/nodes#maintenance_policies. MAINTENANCE_POLICY must be one of:

default

VM instances on the host are live migrated to a new physical server. This is the default setting.

migrate-within-node-group

VM instances on the host are live migrated to another node within the same node group.

restart-in-place

VM instances on the host are terminated and then restarted on the same physical server after the maintenance event has completed.

--maintenance-window-start-time=START_TIME

The time (in GMT) when planned maintenance operations window begins. The possible values are 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the node group 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.

Autoscaling policy for node groups.
--autoscaler-mode=AUTOSCALER_MODE

Set the mode of an autoscaler for a node group. AUTOSCALER_MODE must be one of:

off

to turn off autoscaling.

on

to permit autoscaling to scale in and out.

only-scale-out

to permit autoscaling to scale only out and not in.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--max-nodes=MAX_NODES

The maximum size of the node group. Must be smaller or equal to 100 and larger than or equal to --min-nodes. Must be specified if --autoscaler-mode is not off.

--min-nodes=MIN_NODES

The minimum size of the node group. Default is 0 and must be an integer value smaller than or equal to --max-nodes.

Manage the properties of a shared setting
--share-setting=SHARE_SETTING

Specify if this node group is shared; and if so, the type of sharing: share with specific projects or folders. SHARE_SETTING must be one of: projects, organization, local.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--share-with=PROJECT,[PROJECT,...]

A list of specific projects this node group should be shared with.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

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.

NOTES

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 sole-tenancy node-groups create

$ gcloud beta compute sole-tenancy node-groups create
