(ALPHA) Create a Cloud Spanner instance configuration.
To create a custom Cloud Spanner instance configuration based on an existing Google-managed configuration (nam3) by adding a 'READ_ONLY' type replica in location 'us-east4', run:
$ gcloud alpha spanner instance-configs create \ custom-instance-config --clone-config=nam3 \ --add-replicas=location=us-east4,type=READ_ONLY
To create a custom Cloud Spanner instance configuration based on another custom configuration (custom-instance-config) by adding a 'READ_ONLY' type replica in location 'us-east1' and removing a 'READ_ONLY' type replica in location 'us-east4', run:
$ gcloud alpha spanner instance-configs create \ custom-instance-config1 --clone-config=custom-instance-config \ --add-replicas=location=us-east1,type=READ_ONLY \ --skip-replicas=location=us-east4,type=READ_ONLY
- INSTANCE_CONFIG
Cloud Spanner instance configuration. The 'custom-' prefix is required to avoid name conflicts with Google-managed configurations.
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- Command-line flags to setup a custom instance configuration replicas:
- --base-config=BASE_CONFIG
The name of the Google-managed instance configuration, based on which your custom configuration is created.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --replicas=location=LOCATION,type=TYPE:[...]
The geographic placement of nodes in this instance configuration and their replication types.
- location
The location of the serving resources, e.g. "us-central1".
- type
The type of replica.
Items in the list are separated by ":". The allowed values and formats are as follows.
- READ_ONLY
Read-only replicas only support reads (not writes). Read-only replicas:
- —
Maintain a full copy of your data.
- —
Serve reads.
- —
Do not participate in voting to commit writes.
- —
Are not eligible to become a leader.
- READ_WRITE
Read-write replicas support both reads and writes. These replicas:
- —
Maintain a full copy of your data.
- —
Serve reads.
- —
Can vote whether to commit a write.
- —
Participate in leadership election.
- —
Are eligible to become a leader.
- WITNESS
Witness replicas don't support reads but do participate in voting to commit writes. Witness replicas:
- —
Do not maintain a full copy of data.
- —
Do not serve reads.
- —
Vote whether to commit writes.
- —
Participate in leader election but are not eligible to become leader.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- Command-line flags to setup a custom instance configuration using clone
options:
- --clone-config=INSTANCE_CONFIG
The ID of the instance config, based on which this configuration is created. The clone is an independent copy of this config. Available configurations can be found by running "gcloud spanner instance-configs list"
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --add-replicas=location=LOCATION,type=TYPE:[...]
Add new replicas while cloning from the source config.
- --skip-replicas=location=LOCATION,type=TYPE:[...]
Skip replicas from the source config while cloning. Each replica in the list must exist in the source config replicas list.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
The name of this instance configuration as it appears in UIs. Must specify this option if creating an instance-config with --replicas.
- --etag=ETAG
Used for optimistic concurrency control.
- --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.
- --validate-only
Use this flag to validate that the request will succeed before executing it.
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:
