NAME

gcloud beta secrets create - create a new secret

SYNOPSIS

gcloud beta secrets create SECRET [--data-file=PATH] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--set-annotations=[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--topics=[TOPICS,...]] [--expire-time=EXPIRE-TIME | --ttl=TTL] [--next-rotation-time=NEXT_ROTATION_TIME --rotation-period=ROTATION_PERIOD] [--replication-policy-file=REPLICATION-POLICY-FILE | --kms-key-name=KMS-KEY-NAME --locations=[LOCATION,...] --replication-policy=POLICY] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(BETA) Create a secret with the given name and creates a secret version with the given data, if any. Note, the created secret ends with a newline. If a secret already exists with the given name, this command will return an error.

EXAMPLES

Create a secret with an automatic replication policy without creating any versions:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret

Create a new secret named 'my-secret' with an automatic replication policy and data from a file:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret --data-file=/tmp/secret

Create a new secret named 'my-secret' in 'us-central1' with data from a file:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret --data-file=/tmp/secret \ --replication-policy=user-managed --locations=us-central1

Create a new secret named 'my-secret' in 'us-central1' and 'us-east1' with the value "s3cr3t":

$ printf "s3cr3t" | gcloud beta secrets create my-secret \ --data-file=- --replication-policy=user-managed \ --locations=us-central1,us-east1

Create a new secret named 'my-secret' in 'us-central1' and 'us-east1' with the value "s3cr3t" in PowerShell (Note: PowerShell will add a newline to the resulting secret):

$ Write-Output "s3cr3t" | gcloud beta secrets create my-secret \ --data-file=- --replication-policy=user-managed \ --locations=us-central1,us-east1

Create an expiring secret with an automatic replication policy using a ttl:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret --ttl="600s"

Create an expiring secret with an automatic replication policy using an expire-time:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret \ --expire-time="2030-01-01T08:15:30-05:00"

Create a secret with an automatic replication policy and a next rotation time:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret \ --next-rotation-time="2030-01-01T15:30:00-05:00"

Create a secret with an automatic replication policy and a rotation period:

$ gcloud beta secrets create my-secret \ --next-rotation-time="2030-01-01T15:30:00-05:00" \ --rotation-period="7200s"

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

Secret resource - The secret to create. This represents a Cloud 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 SECRET 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.

SECRET

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

  • provide the argument SECRET on the command line.

FLAGS

--data-file=PATH

File path from which to read secret data. Set this to "-" to read the secret data from stdin.

--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.

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

List of key-value pairs to set as Annotations. All existing Annotations will be removed first.

--topics=[TOPICS,...]

List of Pub/Sub topics to configure on the secret.

Expiration.

At most one of these can be specified:

--expire-time=EXPIRE-TIME

Timestamp at which to automatically delete the secret.

--ttl=TTL

Duration of time (in seconds) from the running of the command until the secret is automatically deleted.

Rotation.
--next-rotation-time=NEXT_ROTATION_TIME

Timestamp at which to send rotation notification.

--rotation-period=ROTATION_PERIOD

Duration of time (in seconds) between rotation notifications.

Replication policy.

At most one of these can be specified:

--replication-policy-file=REPLICATION-POLICY-FILE

JSON or YAML file to use to read the replication policy. The file must conform to https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.secrets#replication.Set this to "-" to read from stdin.

Inline replication arguments.
--kms-key-name=KMS-KEY-NAME

Global KMS key with which to encrypt and decrypt the secret. Only valid for secrets with an automatic replication policy.

--locations=[LOCATION,...]

Comma-separated list of locations in which the secret should be replicated.

--replication-policy=POLICY

The type of replication policy to apply to this secret. Allowed values are "automatic" and "user-managed". If user-managed then --locations must also be provided.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
