DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Create a new Memorystore Memcached instance.

    This command can fail for the following reasons:
      ▪ An instance with the same name already exists.
      ▪ The active account does not have the necessary permissions to create
        instances.

EXAMPLES
    To create a Memcached instance named 'my-memcache-instance' in region
    'us-central1' with 3 nodes, each with 2 CPUs and 2GB of memory, run:

        $ gcloud alpha memcache instances create my-memcache-instance \
            --region=us-central1 --node-count=3 --node-cpu=2 \
            --node-memory=2GB

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Instance resource - Arguments and flags that specify the Memcached
     instance to create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the
     attributes of this 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 instance 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.

       INSTANCE
          ID of the instance or fully qualified identifier for the instance.

          To set the instance attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument instance on the command line.

          This positional argument must be specified if any of the other
          arguments in this group are specified.

       --region=REGION
          The name of the Memcached region of the instance. Overrides the
          default memcache/region property value for this command invocation.

          To set the region attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --region on the command line;
          ▸ set the property memcache/region.

API REFERENCE
    This command uses the memcache/v1beta2 API. The full documentation for this
    API can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/

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 memcache instances create

        $ gcloud beta memcache instances create
