          If set, spread nodes across at least three physical hosts (requires
          at least three hosts). Enabled by default.

     Storage configurations

       --disable-vsphere-csi
          If set, vSphere CSI components are not deployed in the VMware User
          Cluster. Enabled by default.

     Auto-repair configurations

       --enable-auto-repair

     Upgrade policy for the cluster.

       --upgrade-policy=[control-plane-only=CONTROL-PLANE-ONLY]
          If not specified, control-plane-only is set to False. In the next
          upgrade operation, all worker node pools will be upgraded together
          with the control plane.

          Example:

              To upgrade the control plane only and keep worker node pools version unchanged, first specify the policy:

              $ gcloud container vmware clusters create CLUSTER \
                --upgrade-policy control-plane-only=True

              Then to start the upgrade operation using the specified policy, run:

              After upgrading only the cluster control plane, to upgrade an individual node pool, run:

              $ gcloud container vmware node-pools update NODE_POOL \
                --version=VERSION

          Example:

              Alternatively, to upgrade both the control plane and all worker node pools, first specify the policy:

              $ gcloud container vmware clusters create CLUSTER \
                --upgrade-policy control-plane-only=False

              Then to start the upgrade operation using the specified policy, run:

              $ gcloud container vmware clusters upgrade CLUSTER --version=VERSION
