DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Create a new Cloud TPU VM node.

EXAMPLES
    The following command creates a TPU VM node with ID my-tpu in the default
    user project, network and compute/region (with other defaults supplied by
    API):

        $ gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm create my-tpu

    The following command creates a TPU VM node with ID my-tpu:

        $ gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm create my-tpu \
            --zone=us-central1-a --range='10.240.0.0/29' \
            --accelerator-type='v2-8' --network=my-tf-network \
            --description='My TF Node' --version='2.3'

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Tpu resource - The Cloud TPU VM node you want 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 tpu 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.

       TPU
          ID of the tpu or fully qualified identifier for the tpu. To set the
          tpu attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument tpu on the command line.

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

       --zone=ZONE
          The compute/zone of the Cloud TPU.

          If not specified, will use default compute/zone.

          To set the zone attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument tpu on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --zone on the command line;
          ▸ set the property compute/zone.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --version=VERSION
        Runtime version for the TPU, such as 2.3.

        For a list of available versions run:

        gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm versions list

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --accelerator-type=ACCELERATOR_TYPE; default="v2-8"
        TPU accelerator type for the TPU. If not specified, this defaults to
        v2-8.

        For a list of available accelerator types run:

        gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm accelerator-types list

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

     --data-disk=DATA_DISK
        An additional data disk for the TPU VM.

        This flag must be repeated to provide multiple data disks. For example:

            $ gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm create \
                --data-disk \
                source=projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-c/disks/my-disk,\
            mode=read-only

        The following keys are allowed:

         source
            Specifies the full path to an existing disk. Required. The disk
            must be in the same zone.

         mode
            Specifies the mode in which to attach this disk. Valid options are
            'read-write', 'read-only'. If not specified, the default is
            'read-write'.

     --description=DESCRIPTION
        Specifies a text description of the TPU.

     --internal-ips
        Indicates that the IP addresses for the node should be internal. The
        default is that external IP addresses will be associated with the TPU
        workers.

     --labels=[LABELS,...]
        Resource labels to represent user-provided metadata. See
        https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/labeling-resources for details.

     --metadata=[METADATA,...]
        List of comma-separated metadata key-value pairs for the Cloud TPU VM
        node.

     --metadata-from-file=[METADATA_FROM_FILE,...]
        Same as --metadata except the value for the entry will be read from a
        local file.

     --network=NETWORK; default="default"
        Specifies the network that this TPU will be a part of.

     --preemptible
        If provided, the TPU will be preemptible and time-limited. It may be
        preempted to free up resources for standard TPUs, and will only be able
        to run for a limited amount of time.

        Preemptible TPUs cannot be restarted.

     --range=RANGE
        CIDR Range for the TPU.

        The IP range that the TPU will select an IP address from. Must be in
        CIDR notation and a /29 range, for example 192.168.0.0/29. Errors will
        occur if the CIDR range has already been used for a currently existing
        TPU, the CIDR range conflicts with any networks in the user's provided
        network, or the provided network is peered with another network that is
        using that CIDR range.

     --reserved
        When specified, will attempt to create the TPU node under reservations
        made in the current project. The reservations can be made separately
        but used in aggregated form. i.e., the user can make a reservation of
        128 V2 TPUs and later on make another reservation of 128 V2 TPUs then
        creates a v2-256 TPU instance. If there exists no reservation or not
        sufficient amount of reserved cores under the project, the request will
        fail due to lack of capacity.

     --scopes=[SCOPES,...]
        List of comma-separated scopes to be made available for the service
        account.

     --service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT
        Email address of the service account. If empty, default Google Compute
        Engine service account will be used.

     --subnetwork=SUBNETWORK
        Specifies the subnetwork that this TPU will be a part of.

     --tags=[TAGS,...]
        Tags to apply to the TPU Node. Tags are used to identify valid sources
        or targets for network firewalls. See
        https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/add-remove-network-tags for more
        details.

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.

API REFERENCE
    This command uses the tpu/v2alpha1 API. The full documentation for this API
    can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/tpu/

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.
