NAME
    gcloud alpha alloydb instances create - creates a new AlloyDB instance
        within a given cluster

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha alloydb instances create INSTANCE --cluster=CLUSTER
        --cpu-count=CPU_COUNT --instance-type=INSTANCE_TYPE --region=REGION
        [--async] [--availability-type=AVAILABILITY_TYPE]
        [--database-flags=FLAG=VALUE,[FLAG=VALUE,...]]
        [--read-pool-node-count=READ_POOL_NODE_COUNT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Creates a new AlloyDB instance within a given cluster.

EXAMPLES
    To create a new primary instance, run:

        $ gcloud alpha alloydb instances create my-instance \
            --cluster=my-cluster --region=us-central1 \
            --instance-type=PRIMARY --cpu-count=4

    To create a new read pool instance, run:

        $ gcloud alpha alloydb instances create my-instance \
            --cluster=my-cluster --region=us-central1 \
            --instance-type=READ_POOL --read-pool-node-count=1 --cpu-count=4

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE
        AlloyDB instance ID

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --cluster=CLUSTER
        AlloyDB cluster ID

     --cpu-count=CPU_COUNT
        Whole number value indicating how many vCPUs the machine should
        contain. Each vCPU count corresponds to a N2 high-mem machine:
        (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/general-purpose-machines#n2_machines).
        CPU_COUNT must be one of: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.

     --instance-type=INSTANCE_TYPE
        Specifies instance type. INSTANCE_TYPE must be one of:

         PRIMARY
            PRIMARY instances support read and write operations.
         READ_POOL
            READ_POOL instances support read operations only. Each read pool
            instance consists of one or more homogeneous nodes. * Read pool of
            size 1 can only have zonal availability. * Read pools with node
            count of 2 or more can have regional availability (nodes are
            present in 2 or more zones in a region).

     --region=REGION
        Regional location (e.g. asia-east1, us-east1). See the full list of
        regions at https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/instance-locations.

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

     --availability-type=AVAILABILITY_TYPE
        Specifies level of availability. AVAILABILITY_TYPE must be (currently
        only one value is supported):

         REGIONAL
            Provides high availability and is recommended for production
            instances; instance automatically fails over to another zone within
            your selected region.

     --database-flags=FLAG=VALUE,[FLAG=VALUE,...]
        Comma-separated list of database flags to set on the instance. Use an
        equals sign to separate flag name and value. Flags without values, like
        skip_grant_tables, can be written out without a value after, e.g.,
        skip_grant_tables=. Use on/off for booleans. View the Instance Resource
        API for allowed flags. (e.g., --database-flags
        max_allowed_packet=55555,skip_grant_tables=,log_output=1)

     --read-pool-node-count=READ_POOL_NODE_COUNT
        Read capacity, i.e. number of nodes in a read pool instance.

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 alloydb instances create

        $ gcloud beta alloydb instances create
