SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta memcache instances create(INSTANCE :--region=REGION)--node-count=NODE_COUNT--node-cpu=NODE_CPU--node-memory=NODE_MEMORY[--async][--authorized-network=AUTHORIZED_NETWORK][--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME][--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]][--maintenance-window-day=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_DAY][--maintenance-window-duration=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_DURATION][--maintenance-window-start-time=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_START_TIME][--memcached-version=MEMCACHED_VERSION][--parameters=KEY=VALUE][--reserved-ip-range-id=[RESERVED_IP_RANGE_ID,…]][--zones=[ZONES,…]][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA) Create a new Memorystore Memcached instance.

This command can fail for the following reasons:

  • An instance with the same name already exists.
  • The active account does not have the necessary permissions to create instances.
EXAMPLES
To create a Memcached instance named 'my-memcache-instance' in region'us-central1' with 3 nodes, each with 2 CPUs and 2GB of memory, run:
gcloudbetamemcacheinstancescreatemy-memcache-instance--region=us-central1--node-count=3--node-cpu=2--node-memory=2GB
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Instance resource - Arguments and flags that specify the Memcached instance tocreate. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes ofthis resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group butcan be set in other ways.

To set theproject attribute:

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

This must be specified.

INSTANCE
ID of the instance or fully qualified identifier for the instance.

To set theinstance attribute:

  • provide the argumentinstance on the command line.

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

--region=REGION
The name of the Memcached region of the instance. Overrides the defaultmemcache/region property value for this command invocation.To set theregion attribute:
  • provide the argumentinstance on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--region on the command line;
  • set the propertymemcache/region.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--node-count=NODE_COUNT
Number of memcache nodes in this instance. Valid values range from 1 to 20.
--node-cpu=NODE_CPU
Number of cpus per node in this instance. Valid values are 1 or even numberbetween 2-32. Value of 1 is not supported in all regions.
--node-memory=NODE_MEMORY
Amount of memory allocated per node in this instance. The value must be a wholenumber followed by a size unit of 'MB' for megabyte, or 'GB' for gigabyte, ie'3072MB' or '9GB'. The value must be between 1024MB and 307200MB.

--maintenance-window-start-time=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_START_TIME
Hour of day (0 to23) for the start of maintenancewindow, in UTC time zone.
--memcached-version=MEMCACHED_VERSION

1.5
Memcached major version 1.5
1.6.15
Memcached version 1.6.15

--zones=[ZONES,…]
List of zones for the memcache nodes. The nodes will be divided equally acrossthe given zones up to --node-count value. If not provided, the service will bydefault create nodes in all zones in the region specified by --region flag.
