DESCRIPTION
    gcloud compute routes create is used to create routes. A route is a rule
    that specifies how certain packets should be handled by the virtual
    network. Routes are associated with virtual machine instances by tag, and
    the set of routes for a particular VM is called its routing table. For each
    packet leaving a virtual machine, the system searches that machine's
    routing table for a single best matching route.

    Routes match packets by destination IP address, preferring smaller or more
    specific ranges over larger ones (see --destination-range). If there is a
    tie, the system selects the route with the smallest priority value. The
    packet is then forwarded as specified by --next-hop-address,
    --next-hop-instance, --next-hop-vpn-tunnel, or --next-hop-gateway of the
    winning route. Packets that do not match any route in the sending virtual
    machine routing table will be dropped.

    Exactly one of --next-hop-address, --next-hop-gateway,
    --next-hop-vpn-tunnel, or --next-hop-instance must be provided with this
    command.

EXAMPLES
    To create a route with the name 'route-name' with destination range
    '0.0.0.0/0' and with next hop gateway 'default-internet-gateway', run:

        $ gcloud compute routes create route-name \
            --destination-range=0.0.0.0/0 \
            --next-hop-gateway=default-internet-gateway

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     NAME
        Name of the route to create.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --destination-range=DESTINATION_RANGE
        The destination range of outgoing packets that the route will apply to.
        To match all traffic, use ``0.0.0.0/0''.

     Exactly one of these must be specified:

       --next-hop-address=NEXT_HOP_ADDRESS
          Specifies the IP address of an instance that should handle matching
          packets. The instance must have IP forwarding enabled (i.e., include
          --can-ip-forward when creating the instance using gcloud compute
          instances create)

       --next-hop-gateway=NEXT_HOP_GATEWAY
          Specifies the gateway that should handle matching packets. Currently,
          the only acceptable value is default-internet-gateway which is a
          gateway operated by Google Compute Engine.

       --next-hop-ilb=NEXT_HOP_ILB
          Specifies the name or IP address of a forwarding rule for an internal
          TCP/UDP load balancer. The forwarding rule's --load-balancing-scheme
          must be INTERNAL. You can use any --destination-range that doesn't
          exactly match the destination of a subnet route and isn't more
          specific (has a longer subnet mask) than the destination of a subnet
          route. For more information, see
          https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/internal/ilb-next-hop-overview#destination_range.

       --next-hop-instance=NEXT_HOP_INSTANCE
          Specifies the name of an instance that should handle traffic matching
          this route. When this flag is specified, the zone of the instance
          must be specified using --next-hop-instance-zone.

       --next-hop-vpn-tunnel=NEXT_HOP_VPN_TUNNEL
          The target VPN tunnel that will receive forwarded traffic.

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

     --network=NETWORK; default="default"
        Specifies the network to which the route will be applied.

     --next-hop-ilb-region=NEXT_HOP_ILB_REGION
        The region of the next hop forwarding rule. 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.

     --next-hop-instance-zone=NEXT_HOP_INSTANCE_ZONE
        The zone of the next hop instance. If not specified, you might be
        prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to
        identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your
        currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud
        prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform
        zones.

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

            $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

        A list of zones can be fetched by running:

            $ gcloud compute zones list

        To unset the property, run:

            $ gcloud config unset compute/zone

        Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
        CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

     --next-hop-vpn-tunnel-region=NEXT_HOP_VPN_TUNNEL_REGION
        The region of the next hop vpn tunnel. 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.

     --priority=PRIORITY; default=1000
        Specifies the priority of this route relative to other routes with the
        same specificity. The lower the value, the higher the priority.

     --resource-manager-tags=[KEY=VALUE,...]
        A comma-separated list of Resource Manager tags to apply to the route.

     --tags=TAG,[TAG,...]
        Identifies the set of instances that this route will apply to. If no
        tags are provided, the route will apply to all instances in the
        network.
