If run asynchronously with--async, exits after printing oneoperation name that can be used to poll the status of the creation via:

gcloudoperationsdescribe

Node resource - Arguments and flags that specify the Blockchain Node Engine nodeyou want to create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify theattributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments inthis group but can be set in other ways.

To set theproject attribute:

• provide the argumentnode_name on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
• provide the argument--project on the command line;
• set the propertycore/project.

This must be specified.

NODE_NAME

ID of the node or fully qualified identifier for the node.

To set thenode_name attribute:

• provide the argumentnode_name on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.

--location=LOCATION

Location of the blockchain node resource.To set thelocation attribute:

• provide the argumentnode_name on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
• provide the argument--location on the command line;
• set the propertyweb3/location.

--async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--blockchain-type=BLOCKCHAIN_TYPE; default="ETHEREUM"

Blockchain type the node will connect run on.BLOCKCHAIN_TYPE must be (only one value is supported):

ethereum

Ethereum blockchain.

--consensus-client=CONSENSUS_CLIENT; default="LIGHTHOUSE"

Consensus client for Ethereum nodes.CONSENSUS_CLIENTmust be (only one value is supported):

lighthouse

Lighthouse execution client.

--execution-client=EXECUTION_CLIENT; default="GETH"

Execution client for Ethereum nodes.EXECUTION_CLIENTmust be (only one value is supported):

geth

Geth execution client.

--network=NETWORK; default="MAINNET"

Blockchain network the node will connect to.NETWORKmust be one of:

goerli

Goerli & Prater Ethereum test network.

holesky

Holesky Ethereum test network.

mainnet

Primary Ethereum network, often referred to as mainnet.

sepolia

Sepolia Ethereum test network.

--node-type=NODE_TYPE; default="FULL"

Node type - defines whether the node retains only recent data or an archivalhistory.NODE_TYPE must be (only one value issupported):

full

Node retains full history required for consensus validation, however does notretain archival data beyond that.
