DESCRIPTION
(BETA) This command creates a record-set contained within thespecified managed-zone.
EXAMPLES
To create a record-set with dnsName foo.bar.com., record type A, rrdata[1.2.3.4, 9.8.7.6] and ttl 60 in my_zone run this:
gcloudbetadnsrecord-setscreatefoo.bar.com.--rrdatas=1.2.3.4,9.8.7.6--type=A--ttl=60--zone=my_zone

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
DNS_NAME
DNS or domain name of the record-set.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--type=TYPE
DNS record type of the record-set (e.g. A, AAAA, MX etc.).
--zone=ZONE,-zZONE
Name of the managed zone whose record sets you want to manage.
Resource record sets arguments. Can specify either --rrdatas or both--routing-policy-data and --routing-policy-type.

Exactly one of these must be specified:

--rrdatas=[RRDATA,…]
DNS data (Address/CNAME/MX info, etc.) of the record-set. This is RDATA; theformat of this information varies depending on the type and class of theresource record.
Or at least one of these can be specified:
Routing policy arguments. --routing-policy-type should be specified exactly whenone of --routing-policy-data, --routing-policy-item, or--routing-policy-primary-data is set.
--routing_policy_type=ROUTING_POLICY_TYPE
Indicates what type of routing policy is being specified. As of this time, thisfield can take on either "WRR" for weighted round robin, "GEO" for geo location,or "FAILOVER" for a primary-backup configuration. This field cannot be modified- once a policy has a chosen type, the only way to change it is to delete thepolicy and add a new one with the different type.ROUTING_POLICY_TYPE must be one of:GEO,WRR,FAILOVER.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--enable-geo-fencing
Specifies whether to enable fencing for geo queries.
Routing policy data arguments. Allows setting one of [routing-policy-data,routing-policy-item, [routing-policy-primary-data, [routing-policy-backup-data,routing-policy-backup-item]]]

Exactly one of these must be specified:

--routing-policy-item=[ROUTING_POLICY_ITEM,…]
Specify this argument multiple times for a weighted round robin (WRR) orgeolocation routing policy. Use this repeated argument for only one routingpolicy type (WRR or geolocation), not both. Similarly, use it only for healthchecking either internal load balancers or external IP addresses, not both.

(e.g.--routing-policy-item=weight=1,rrdatas=1.2.3.4;2.3.4.5,external_endpoints=3.4.5.6;4.5.6.7--routing-policy-item=weight=1,rrdatas=10.0.0.1;10.0.0.2,external_endpoints=10.0.0.4)

weight
The weight of the item. This is specified only for WRR routing policy items.
location
The location corresponding to the item. This is specified only for GEO routingpolicy items.
rrdatas
The list of rrdatas, split by ";".
external_endpoints
The list of health checked ips, split by ";".
internal_load_balancers
The list of health checked internal load balancers, split by ";".
--routing_policy_data=ROUTING_POLICY_DATA
(DEPRECATED) The routing policy data supports one of two formats below,depending on the choice of routing-policy-type.

For --routing-policy-type = "WRR" this flag indicates the weighted round robinpolicy data. The field accepts a semicolon-delimited list of the format"${weight_percent}=${rrdata},${rrdata}". Specify weight as a non-negative number(0 is allowed). Ratio of traffic routed to the target is calculated from theratio of individual weight over the total across all weights.

For --routing-policy-type = "GEO" this flag indicates the geo-locations policydata. The field accepts a semicolon-delimited list of the format"${region}=${rrdata},${rrdata}". Each rrdata can either be an IP address or areference to a forwarding rule of the format "FORWARDING_RULE_NAME","FORWARDING_RULE_NAME@{region}", "FORWARDING_RULE_NAME@global", or the fullresource path of the forwarding rule.

The--routing_policy_data flag is deprecated. Use--routing-policy-item instead.

Or at least one of these can be specified:
Configuration for primary backup routing policy
--routing-policy-backup-data-type=ROUTING_POLICY_BACKUP_DATA_TYPE
For FAILOVER routing policies, the type of routing policy the backup data uses.Currently, this must be GEO.ROUTING_POLICY_BACKUP_DATA_TYPE must be (only one valueis supported):GEO.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--routing-policy-primary-data=ROUTING_POLICY_PRIMARY_DATA
The primary configuration for a primary backup routing policy. Thisconfiguration is a list of forwarding rules of the format"FORWARDING_RULE_NAME", "FORWARDING_RULE_NAME@scope", or the full resource pathof the forwarding rule.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--backup-data-trickle-ratio=BACKUP_DATA_TRICKLE_RATIO
Specifies the percentage of traffic to send to the backup targets even when theprimary targets are healthy.
Routing policy backup data arguments for the primary backup routing policy.Specify either --routing-policy-backup-data or --routing-policy-backup-item, butnot both.

Exactly one of these must be specified:

--routing-policy-backup-data=ROUTING_POLICY_BACKUP_DATA
(DEPRECATED) Specify the backup configuration for a primary backup routingpolicy. This backup configuration uses the same format as therouting-policy-data argument because it functions as another geolocation routingpolicy.

The--routing-policy-backup-data flag is deprecated. Use--routing-policy-backup-item instead.

--routing-policy-backup-item=[ROUTING_POLICY_BACKUP_ITEM,…]
Specify this argument multiple times to define multiple items for a primarybackup routing policy.

(e.g.--routing-policy-backup-item=location=us-east1-a,rrdatas=1.2.3.4;2.3.4.5,external_endpoints=3.4.5.6;4.5.6.7--routing-policy-backup-item=location=us-east1-b,rrdatas=10.0.0.1;10.0.0.2,external_endpoints=10.0.0.4)

location
The location corresponding to the item.
rrdatas
The list of rrdatas, split by ";".
external_endpoints
The list of health checked ips, split by ";".
internal_load_balancers
The list of health checked internal load balancers, split by ";".
Health checking arguments. You can specify one of --health-check or--enable-health-checking, but not both.

At most one of these can be specified:

--enable-health-checking
Required if specifying forwarding rule names for rrdata.
--health-check=HEALTH_CHECK
Specifies the health check to be used for public IP health checking. Either thehealth check name or full resource path should be provided.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--location=LOCATION
Specifies the desired service location the request is sent to. Defaults to CloudDNS global service. Use --location=global if you want to target the globalservice.
--ttl=TTL
TTL (time to live) for the record-set.
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.
