NAME
    gcloud ai indexes create - create a new Vertex AI index

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud ai indexes create --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
        --metadata-file=METADATA_FILE [--description=DESCRIPTION]
        [--encryption-kms-key-name=ENCRYPTION_KMS_KEY_NAME]
        [--index-update-method=INDEX_UPDATE_METHOD] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]]
        [--metadata-schema-uri=METADATA_SCHEMA_URI] [--region=REGION]
        [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

EXAMPLES
    To create an index under project example in region us-central1, encrypted
    with KMS key kms-key-name, run:

        $ gcloud ai indexes create --display-name=index --description=test \
            --metadata-file=path/to/your/metadata.json --project=example \
            --region=us-central1 --encryption-kms-key-name=kms-key-name

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
        Display name of the index.

     --metadata-file=METADATA_FILE
        Path to a local JSON file that contains the additional metadata
        information about the index.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --description=DESCRIPTION
        Description of the index.

     --encryption-kms-key-name=ENCRYPTION_KMS_KEY_NAME
        The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption
        key used to protect a resource. Has the form:
        projects/my-project/locations/my-region/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key.

        The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is
        created.

     --index-update-method=INDEX_UPDATE_METHOD
        The update method to use with this index. Choose stream-update or
        batch-update (case insensitive). If not set, batch update will be used
        by default. INDEX_UPDATE_METHOD must be one of:

         batch-update
            can update index with gcloud ai indexes update usingdatapoints
            files on Cloud Storage.
         stream-update
            can update datapoints with upsert-datapoints and`delete-datapoints
            and will be applied nearly real-time.

     --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.

     --metadata-schema-uri=METADATA_SCHEMA_URI
        Points to a YAML file stored on Google Cloud Storage describing
        additional information about index.

     Region resource - Cloud region to create index. 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 --region on the command line with a fully
        specified name;
      ◆ set the property ai/region with a fully specified name;
      ◆ choose one from the prompted list of available regions with a fully
        specified name;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line;
      ◆ set the property core/project.

       --region=REGION
          ID of the region or fully qualified identifier for the region.

          To set the region attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument --region on the command line;
          ▸ set the property ai/region;
          ▸ choose one from the prompted list of available regions.
