DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Create a node pool in an Anthos cluster on VMware.

EXAMPLES
    To create a node pool named my-node-pool in a cluster named my-cluster
    managed in location us-west1, run:

        $ gcloud alpha container vmware node-pools create my-node-pool \
            --cluster=my-cluster --location=us-west1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Node pool resource - node pool 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 node_pool 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.

       NODE_POOL
          ID of the node_pool or fully qualified identifier for the node_pool.

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

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

       --cluster=CLUSTER
          cluster of the node_pool.

          To set the cluster attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument node_pool on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --cluster on the command line.

       --location=LOCATION
          Google Cloud location for the node_pool.

          To set the location attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument node_pool on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --location on the command line;
          ▸ set the property container_vmware/location.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     Configuration of the node pool

     This must be specified.

       --image-type=IMAGE_TYPE
          OS image type to use on node pool instances.

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

       --boot-disk-size=BOOT_DISK_SIZE
          Size of VMware disk to be used during creation in GB.

       --cpus=CPUS
          Number of CPUs for each node in the node pool.

       --enable-load-balancer
          If set, enable the use of load balancer on the node pool instances.

       --image=IMAGE
          OS image name in vCenter.

       --memory=MEMORY
          Size of memory for each node in the node pool in MB.

       --node-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
          Kubernetes labels (key/value pairs) to be applied to each node.

       --node-taints=[KEY=VALUE:EFFECT,...]
          Applies the given kubernetes taints on all nodes in the new node
          pool, which can be used with tolerations for pod scheduling.

          Examples:

              $ gcloud alpha container vmware node-pools create node-pool-1 \
                  --cluster=example-cluster \
                  --node-taints=key1=val1:NoSchedule,key2=val2:PreferNoSchedule

       --replicas=REPLICAS
          Number of replicas to use on node pool instances.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --annotations=[KEY=VALUE,...]
        Annotations on the node pool.

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

     --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
        Display name for the resource.

     --validate-only
        If set, only validate the request, but do not actually perform the
        operation.

     Node pool autoscaling

       --max-replicas=MAX_REPLICAS
          Maximum number of replicas in the node pool.

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

       --min-replicas=MIN_REPLICAS
          Minimum number of replicas in the node pool.

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

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,

    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. This variant is also available:
