gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create - create a target HTTP proxy
gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create NAME --url-map=URL_MAP [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--proxy-bind] [--global | --region=REGION] [--global-url-map | --url-map-region=URL_MAP_REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create is used to create target HTTP proxies. A target HTTP proxy is referenced by one or more forwarding rules which specify the network traffic that the proxy is responsible for routing. The target HTTP proxy points to a URL map that defines the rules for routing the requests. The URL map's job is to map URLs to backend services which handle the actual requests.
If there is an already-created URL map with the name URL_MAP, create a global target HTTP proxy pointing to this map by running:
$ gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP
Create a regional target HTTP proxy by running:
$ gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP --region=REGION_NAME
To create a proxy with a textual description, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute target-http-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP --description="default proxy"
- NAME
Name of the target HTTP proxy to create.
- --url-map=URL_MAP
A reference to a URL map resource. A URL map defines the mapping of URLs to backend services. Before you can refer to a URL map, you must create the URL map. To delete a URL map that a target proxy is referring to, you must first delete the target HTTP proxy.
- --description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the target HTTP proxy.
- --proxy-bind
This flag applies when the load_balancing_scheme of the associated backend service is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. When specified, the envoy binds to the forwarding rule's IP address and port. By default, this flag is off.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --global
If set, the target HTTP proxy is global.
- --region=REGION
Region of the target HTTP proxy 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.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --global-url-map
If set, the URL map is global.
- --url-map-region=URL_MAP_REGION
Region of the URL map to operate on. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
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 target-http-proxies create
$ gcloud beta compute target-http-proxies create
