EXAMPLES To create a Compute Engine reservation by specifying VM properties using an instance template, run: $ gcloud beta compute reservations create my-reservation \ --vm-count=1 \ --source-instance-template=example-instance-template \ --zone=fake-zone To create a Compute Engine reservation by directly specifying VM properties, run: $ gcloud beta compute reservations create my-reservation \ --vm-count=1 --machine-type=custom-8-10240 \ --min-cpu-platform="Intel Haswell" \ --accelerator=count=2,type=nvidia-tesla-v100 \ --local-ssd=size=375,interface=scsi --zone=fake-zone POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS RESERVATION Name of the reservation to create. REQUIRED FLAGS Manage the SpecificSKU reservation properties. This must be specified. --vm-count=VM_COUNT The number of VM instances that are allocated to this reservation. The value of this field must be an int in the range [1, 1000]. This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified. --require-specific-reservation Indicates whether the reservation can be consumed by VMs with "any reservation" defined. If enabled, then only VMs that target this reservation by name using --reservation-affinity=specific can consume from this reservation. --resource-policies=[KEY=VALUE,...] The resource policies to include in this reservation. If you omit this flag, no resource policies are added. You can specify any string as the key, and specify the name of a resource policy as the value. Manage the instance properties for the SpecificSKU reservation. Exactly one of these must be specified: --source-instance-template=SOURCE_INSTANCE_TEMPLATE The url of the instance template that will be used to populate the fields of the reservation. Instance properties can not be defined in addition to source instance template. Define the individual instance properties for the SpecificSKU reservation. --machine-type=MACHINE_TYPE The type of machine (name only) that has a fixed number of vCPUs and a fixed amount of memory. You can also specify a custom machine type by using the pattern custom-number_of_CPUs-amount_of_memory-for example, custom-32-29440. This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified. --accelerator=[count=COUNT],[type=TYPE] Manage the configuration of the type and number of accelerator cards attached. count The number of accelerators to attach to each instance in the reservation. type The specific type (e.g. nvidia-tesla-k80 for nVidia Tesla K80) of accelerator to attach to instances in the reservation. Use gcloud compute accelerator-types list to learn about all available accelerator types. --local-ssd=[count=COUNT],[interface=INTERFACE],[size=SIZE] Manage the size and the interface of local SSD to use. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for more information. interface The kind of disk interface exposed to the VM for this SSD. Valid values are scsi and nvme. SCSI is the default and is supported by more guest operating systems. NVME may provide higher performance. size The size of the local SSD in base-2 GB. count The number of local SSD to use per VM. If you don't specify this argument, then the default value is 1. --min-cpu-platform=MIN_CPU_PLATFORM Optional minimum CPU platform of the reservation to create. OPTIONAL FLAGS --description=DESCRIPTION An optional description of the reservation to create. --reservation-sharing-policy=RESERVATION_SHARING_POLICY The reservation sharing policy to use for this reservation. RESERVATION_SHARING_POLICY must be one of: ALLOW_ALL The reservation can be shared with Google Cloud services. DISALLOW_ALL The reservation won't be shared with Google Cloud services. If you omit this flag during creation, the default value is DISALLOW_ALL. --zone=ZONE Zone of the reservation to create. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you 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. Manage auto-delete properties for reservations. At most one of these can be specified: --delete-after-duration=DELETE_AFTER_DURATION Automatically deletes the reservations after a specified number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds from its creation. For example, specify 30m for 30 minutes, or 1d2h3m4s for 1 day, 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 4 seconds. For more information, see $ gcloud topic datetimes. --delete-at-time=DELETE_AT_TIME Automatically deletes the reservation at a specific time from its creation. The specified time must be an RFC3339 timestamp, which must be formatted as "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ" where YYYY = year, MM = month, DD = day, HH = hours, MM = minutes, SS = seconds, and Z = time zone in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, specify 2021-11-20T07:00:00Z. Manage the properties of a shared reservation. --share-setting=SHARE_SETTING The projects that can use the reservation. SHARE_SETTING must be one of: local Only your project can use the reservation. This is the default value. projects Your project and up to 100 other projects within your project's organization can use the reservation. If you specify this value, then you must also include the --share-with flag in the command. --share-with=SHARE_WITH,[SHARE_WITH,...] If this reservation is shared (--share-setting=projects), then specify a comma-separated list of projects to share the reservation with. List projects using project IDs or project numbers. 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.
