DESCRIPTION
(BETA) Create a Compute Engine reservation.
EXAMPLES
To create a Compute Engine reservation by specifying VM properties using aninstance template, run:
gcloudbetacomputereservationscreatemy-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:

gcloudbetacomputereservationscreatemy-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 ofthis field must be an int in the range [1, 1000].

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare 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, noresource policies are added. You can specify any string as the key, and specifythe 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 thereservation. Instance properties can not be defined in addition to sourceinstance 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 fixedamount of memory. You can also specify a custom machine type by using thepatterncustom-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 groupare 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) ofaccelerator to attach to instances in the reservation. Usegcloud computeaccelerator-types list to learn about all available acceleratortypes.
--local-ssd=[count=COUNT],[interface=INTERFACE],[size=SIZE]
Manage the size and the interface of local SSD to use. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssdfor more information.
interface
The kind of disk interface exposed to the VM for this SSD. Valid values arescsi andnvme. SCSI is the default and is supported bymore 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, thenthe 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 thisflag during creation, the default value is DISALLOW_ALL.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the reservation to create. If not specified and thecompute/zone property isn't set, you mightbe prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_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 topicdatetimes.
--delete-at-time=DELETE_AT_TIME
Automatically deletes the reservation at a specific time from its creation. Thespecified 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_SETTINGmust 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 canuse 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 acomma-separated list of projects to share the reservation with. List projectsusing 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.

Run$gcloud help for details.
