NAME gcloud alpha vmware privateclouds create - create a VMware Engine private cloud SYNOPSIS gcloud alpha vmware privateclouds create (PRIVATE_CLOUD : --location=LOCATION) --cluster=CLUSTER --management-range=MANAGEMENT_RANGE --network=NETWORK --node-count=NODE_COUNT --node-type=NODE_TYPE [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--external-ip-access] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--network-project=NETWORK_PROJECT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION (ALPHA) Create a VMware Engine private cloud. Private cloud creation is considered finished when the private cloud is in READY state. Check the progress of a private cloud using gcloud alpha vmware privateclouds list. EXAMPLES To create a private cloud in the us-west2-a zone using standard-72 nodes that connects to the default-vpc VPC network of another project, run: $ gcloud alpha vmware privateclouds create my-private-cloud \ --location=us-west2-a --project=my-project \ --cluster=my-management-cluster --node-type=standard-72 \ --node-count=3 --management-range=192.168.0.0/24 \ --network=default-vpc --network-project=another-project Or: $ gcloud alpha vmware privateclouds create my-private-cloud \ --cluster=my-management-cluster --node-type=standard-72 \ --node-count=3 --management-range=192.168.0.0/24 \ --network=default-vpc --network-project=another-project In the second example, the project and location are taken from gcloud properties core/project and compute/zone. POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS Private cloud resource - private_cloud. 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 private_cloud on the command line with a fully specified name; ◆ set the property core/project; ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line. This must be specified. PRIVATE_CLOUD ID of the private cloud or fully qualified identifier for the private cloud. To set the private-cloud attribute: ▸ provide the argument private_cloud on the command line. This positional must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified. --location=LOCATION Zone of the private cloud or cluster. To set the location attribute: ▸ provide the argument private_cloud on the command line with a fully specified name; ▸ provide the argument --location on the command line; ▸ set the property compute/zone. REQUIRED FLAGS Cluster resource - cluster. This represents a Cloud 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 --cluster on the command line with a fully specified name; ◆ set the property core/project; ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line. To set the location attribute: ◆ provide the argument --cluster on the command line with a fully specified name; ◆ set the property compute/zone. To set the private-cloud attribute: ◆ provide the argument --cluster on the command line with a fully specified name. This must be specified. --cluster=CLUSTER ID of the cluster or fully qualified identifier for the cluster. To set the cluster attribute: ▸ provide the argument --cluster on the command line. --management-range=MANAGEMENT_RANGE IP address range in the private cloud to use for management appliances, in CIDR format. Use an IP address range that meets the VMware Engine networking requirements (https://cloud.google.com/vmware-engine/docs/quickstart-networking-requirements). --network=NETWORK Network ID of the Google Cloud VPC network to connect with your private cloud. --node-count=NODE_COUNT Node type to use for management cluster nodes. To get a list of available node types, run gcloud alpha vmware nodetypes list. Node type resource - node_type. This represents a Cloud 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-type on the command line with a fully specified name; ◆ set the property core/project; ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line. To set the location attribute: ◆ provide the argument --node-type on the command line with a fully specified name; ◆ set the property compute/zone. This must be specified. --node-type=NODE_TYPE ID of the node type or fully qualified identifier for the node type. To set the node-type attribute: ▸ provide the argument --node-type on the command line. OPTIONAL FLAGS --description=DESCRIPTION Text describing the private cloud. --external-ip-access Enable public IP address service for management appliances so vCenter and NSX can be accessed via internet. Resolution of FQDNs requires local DNS configuration for the private cloud domain. NAT is set up on NSX for external IP ingress traffic, and users must manually configure NSX firewall to allow HTTPS traffic. --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...] List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add. Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. --network-project=NETWORK_PROJECT Project ID or project name of the VPC network. Use this flag when the VPC network is in another project. 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.
