DESCRIPTION
    Creates a new AlloyDB instance within a given cluster.

EXAMPLES
    To create a new primary instance, run:

        $ gcloud alloydb instances create my-instance --cluster=my-cluster \
            --region=us-central1 --instance-type=PRIMARY --cpu-count=4

    To create a new read pool instance, run:

        $ gcloud alloydb instances create my-instance --cluster=my-cluster \
            --region=us-central1 --instance-type=READ_POOL \
            --read-pool-node-count=1 --cpu-count=4

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE
        AlloyDB instance ID

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --cluster=CLUSTER
        AlloyDB cluster ID

     --instance-type=INSTANCE_TYPE
        Specifies instance type. INSTANCE_TYPE must be one of:

         PRIMARY
            PRIMARY instances support read and write operations.
         READ_POOL
            READ_POOL instances support read operations only. Each read pool
            instance consists of one or more homogeneous nodes. * Read pool of
            size 1 can only have zonal availability. * Read pools with node
            count of 2 or more can have regional availability (nodes are
            present in 2 or more zones in a region).

     --region=REGION
        Regional location (e.g. asia-east1, us-east1). See the full list of
        regions at https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/instance-locations.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --allocated-ip-range-override=ALLOCATED_IP_RANGE_OVERRIDE
        Name of the allocated IP range for the private IP AlloyDB instance, for
        example: "google-managed-services-default". If set, the instance IPs
        will be created from this allocated range and will override the IP
        range used by the parent cluster. The range name must comply with RFC
        1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the
        regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?.

     --allowed-psc-projects=[ALLOWED_PSC_PROJECTS,...]
        Comma-separated list of allowed consumer projects to create endpoints
        for Private Service Connect (PSC) connectivity for the instance. Only
        instances in PSC-enabled clusters are allowed to set this field.(e.g.,
        --allowed-psc-projects=project1,12345678,project2)

     --assign-inbound-public-ip=ASSIGN_INBOUND_PUBLIC_IP
        Specify to enable or disable public IP on an instance.
        ASSIGN_INBOUND_PUBLIC_IP must be one of:
        ◆ NO_PUBLIC_IP
          ▸ This disables public IP on the instance. Updating an instance to
            disable public IP will clear the list of authorized networks.
        ◆ ASSIGN_IPV4
          ▸ Assign an inbound public IPv4 address for the instance. Public IP
            is enabled.

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

     --authorized-external-networks=[AUTHORIZED_NETWORK,...]
        Comma-separated list of authorized external networks to set on the
        instance. Authorized networks should use CIDR notation (e.g.
        1.2.3.4/30). This flag is only allowed to be set for instances with
        public IP enabled.

     --availability-type=AVAILABILITY_TYPE
        Specifies level of availability. AVAILABILITY_TYPE must be one of:

         REGIONAL
            Provide high availability instances. Recommended for production
            instances; instances automatically fail over to another zone within
            your selected region.
         ZONAL
            Provide zonal availability instances. Not recommended for
            production instances; instance does not automatically fail over to
            another zone.

     --connection-pooling-client-connection-idle-timeout=CONNECTION_POOLING_CLIENT_CONNECTION_IDLE_TIMEOUT
        The maximum number of seconds a client is allowed to be idle before it
        is disconnected.

        the connection pool.

     --connection-pooling-max-client-connections=CONNECTION_POOLING_MAX_CLIENT_CONNECTIONS
        The max client connections for managed connection pooling.

     --connection-pooling-max-pool-size=CONNECTION_POOLING_MAX_POOL_SIZE
        The max pool size for managed connection pooling.

     --connection-pooling-max-prepared-statements=CONNECTION_POOLING_MAX_PREPARED_STATEMENTS
        The maximum number of prepared statements allowed.

     --connection-pooling-min-pool-size=CONNECTION_POOLING_MIN_POOL_SIZE

     --connection-pooling-pool-mode=CONNECTION_POOLING_POOL_MODE
        The pool mode for managed connection pooling.
        CONNECTION_POOLING_POOL_MODE must be one of:

         SESSION
            Session mode for managed connection pooling.
         TRANSACTION
            Transaction mode for managed connection pooling.

     --connection-pooling-query-wait-timeout=CONNECTION_POOLING_QUERY_WAIT_TIMEOUT
        The query wait timeout for managed connection pooling.

     --connection-pooling-server-idle-timeout=CONNECTION_POOLING_SERVER_IDLE_TIMEOUT
        The server idle timeout for managed connection pooling.

     --connection-pooling-server-lifetime=CONNECTION_POOLING_SERVER_LIFETIME
        The lifetime of a server connection in seconds. The pooler will close
        an unused (not currently linked to any client connection) server
        connection that has been connected longer than this. Setting it to 0
        means the connection is to be used only once, then closed.

     --connection-pooling-stats-users=[STATS_USERS,...]
        Comma-separated list of database users to access connection pooling
        stats.

     --cpu-count=CPU_COUNT
        Whole number value indicating how many vCPUs the machine should
        contain. If the instance does not have a machine-type, the vCPU count
        will be used to determine the machine type where each vCPU corresponds
        to an N2 high-mem machine:
        (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/general-purpose-machines#n2_machine_types).
        where CPU_COUNT can be one of: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 96, 128. If the
        instance has a machine-type, cpu-count must have the same value as the
        vCPU count in the machine-type. Eg: if machine-type is
        c4a-highmem-4-lssd, cpu-count must be 4. CPU_COUNT must be one of: 1,
        2, 4, 8, 14, 16, 22, 32, 44, 48, 64, 72, 88, 96, 128, 144, 192, 288.

     --database-flags=FLAG=VALUE,[FLAG=VALUE,...]
        Comma-separated list of database flags to set on the instance. Use an
        equals sign to separate flag name and value. Flags without values, like
        skip_grant_tables, can be written out without a value after, e.g.,
        skip_grant_tables=. Use on/off for booleans. View the Instance Resource
