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.
