NAME
    gcloud alpha compute url-maps create - create a URL map

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP
        (--default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET
          | --default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE) [--description=DESCRIPTION]
        [--global | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute url-maps create is used to create URL maps
    which map HTTP and HTTPS request URLs to backend services and backend
    buckets. Mappings are done using a longest-match strategy.

    There are two components to a mapping: a host rule and a path matcher. A
    host rule maps one or more hosts to a path matcher. A path matcher maps
    request paths to backend services or backend buckets. For example, a host
    rule can map the hosts *.google.com and google.com to a path matcher called
    www. The www path matcher in turn can map the path /search/* to the search
    backend service, the path /static/* to the static backend bucket and
    everything else to a default backend service or default backend bucket.

    Host rules and patch matchers can be added to the URL map after the map is
    created by using gcloud compute url-maps edit or by using gcloud compute
    url-maps add-path-matcher and gcloud compute url-maps add-host-rule.

EXAMPLES
    To create a global URL map with a default service, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \
            --default-service=BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME

    To create a regional URL map with a default service, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \
            --default-service=BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME --region=REGION_NAME

    To create a global URL map with a default backend bucket, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \
            --default-backend-bucket=BACKEND_BUCKET_NAME

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     URL_MAP
        Name of the URL map to create.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     Exactly one of these must be specified:

       --default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET
          A backend bucket that will be used for requests for which this URL
          map has no mappings. Exactly one of --default-service or
          --default-backend-bucket is required.

       --default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE
          A backend service that will be used for requests for which this URL
          map has no mappings. Exactly one of --default-service or
          --default-backend-bucket is required.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --description=DESCRIPTION
        An optional, textual description for the URL map.

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --global
          If set, the URL map is global.

       --region=REGION
          Region of the URL map to create. If not specified, you might be
          prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

          To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
          compute/region property:

              $ gcloud config set compute/region REGION

          A list of regions can be fetched by running:

              $ gcloud compute regions list

          To unset the property, run:

              $ gcloud config unset compute/region

          Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
          CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

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. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud compute url-maps create

        $ gcloud beta compute url-maps create
