DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Create a node pool in an Anthos cluster on VMware.

EXAMPLES

To create a node pool named my-node-pool in a cluster named my-cluster managed in location us-west1, run:

$ gcloud alpha container vmware node-pools create my-node-pool \ --cluster=my-cluster --location=us-west1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

Node pool resource - node pool to create The arguments in this group can be

used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways. To set the project attribute:

provide the argument node_pool on the command line with a fully specified name;

provide the argument --project on the command line;

set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

NODE_POOL

ID of the node_pool or fully qualified identifier for the node_pool. To set the node_pool attribute:

  • provide the argument node_pool on the command line.

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

--cluster=CLUSTER

cluster of the node_pool. To set the cluster attribute:

  • provide the argument node_pool on the command line with a fully specified name;

  • provide the argument --cluster on the command line.

--location=LOCATION

Google Cloud location for the node_pool. To set the location attribute:

  • provide the argument node_pool on the command line with a fully specified name;

  • provide the argument --location on the command line;

  • set the property container_vmware/location.

REQUIRED FLAGS

Configuration of the node pool

This must be specified.

--image-type=IMAGE_TYPE

OS image type to use on node pool instances.

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

--boot-disk-size=BOOT_DISK_SIZE

Size of VMware disk to be used during creation in GB.

--cpus=CPUS

Number of CPUs for each node in the node pool.

--enable-load-balancer

If set, enable the use of load balancer on the node pool instances.

--image=IMAGE

OS image name in vCenter.

--memory=MEMORY

Size of memory for each node in the node pool in MB.

--node-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]

Kubernetes labels (key/value pairs) to be applied to each node.

--node-taints=[KEY=VALUE:EFFECT,...]

Applies the given kubernetes taints on all nodes in the new node pool, which can be used with tolerations for pod scheduling.

Examples:

$ gcloud alpha container vmware node-pools create node-pool-1 \ --cluster=example-cluster \ --node-taints=key1=val1:NoSchedule,key2=val2:PreferNoSchedule

--replicas=REPLICAS

Number of replicas to use on node pool instances.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--annotations=[KEY=VALUE,...]

Annotations on the node pool.

--async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME

Display name for the resource.

Node pool autoscaling
--max-replicas=MAX_REPLICAS

Maximum number of replicas in the node pool.

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

--min-replicas=MIN_REPLICAS

Minimum number of replicas in the node pool.

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

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.
