- DESCRIPTION
- Create a worker pool for use by Google Cloud Build.
- EXAMPLES
- To create a worker pool named
wp1in regionus-central1, run:gcloudbuildsworker-poolscreatewp1--region=us-central1To create a worker pool in project
p1in regionus-central1where workers are of machine typee2-standard-2and are peered to the VPC networkprojects/123/global/networks/defaultwithin the IP range192.168.0.0/28and have a disk size of 64GB, run:gcloudbuildsworker-poolscreatewp1--project=p1--region=us-central1--peered-network=projects/123/global/networks/default--peered-network-ip-range=192.168.0.0/28--worker-machine-type=e2-standard-2--worker-disk-size=64GB - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
WORKER_POOL- Unique identifier for the worker pool to create. This value should be 1-63characters, and valid characters are [a-z][0-9]-
- FLAGS
--region=REGION- Cloud region where the worker pool is created. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/build/docs/locationsfor available locations.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE- File that contains the configuration for the worker pool to be created. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/build/docs/private-pools/worker-pool-config-file-schemafor options.
- Or at least one of these can be specified:
- Command-line flags to configure the private pool:
- Configuration to be used for creating workers in the worker pool:
--worker-disk-size=WORKER_DISK_SIZE- Size of the disk attached to the worker.
If unspecified, Cloud Build uses a standard disk size.
--worker-machine-type=WORKER_MACHINE_TYPE- Compute Engine machine type for a worker pool.
If unspecified, Cloud Build uses a standard machine type.
- Network configuration for Service Networking:
--peered-network=PEERED_NETWORK- Existing network to which workers are peered. The network is specified inresource URL format projects/{network_project}/global/networks/{network_name}.
If not specified, the workers are not peered to any network.
--peered-network-ip-range=PEERED_NETWORK_IP_RANGE- An IP range for your peered network. Specify the IP range using ClasslessInter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation with a slash and the subnet prefix size,such as
/29.Your subnet prefix size must be between 1 and 29. Optional: you can specify anIP address before the subnet prefix value - for example
192.168.0.0/24.If no IP address is specified, your VPC automatically determines the starting IPfor the range. If no IP range is specified, Cloud Build uses
/24asthe default network IP range. --no-public-egress- If set, workers in the worker pool are created without an external IP address.
If the worker pool is within a VPC Service Control perimeter, use this flag.
