- DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute target-tcp-proxies createis used to create targetTCP proxies. A target TCP proxy is referenced by one or more forwarding ruleswhich define which packets the proxy is responsible for routing. The target TCPproxy points to a backend service which handle the actual requests.- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME- Name of the target TCP proxy to create.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
--backend-service=BACKEND_SERVICE- A backend service that will be used for connections to the target TCP proxy.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
--description=DESCRIPTION- An optional, textual description for the target TCP proxy.
--[no-]proxy-bind- This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this targetproxy has a
--load-balancing-schemeset toINTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.When this field is set to
true, Envoy proxies set up inboundtraffic interception and bind to the IP address and port specified in theforwarding rule. This is generally useful when using Traffic Director toconfigure Envoy as a gateway or middle proxy (in other words, not a sidecarproxy). The Envoy proxy listens for inbound requests and handles requests whenit receives them.Use
--proxy-bindto enable and--no-proxy-bindtodisable. --proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER; default="NONE"- The type of proxy protocol header to be sent to the backend.
PROXY_HEADERmust be one of:NONE- No proxy header is added.
PROXY_V1- Enables PROXY protocol (version 1) for passing client connection information.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--backend-service-region=BACKEND_SERVICE_REGION- Region of the backend service to operate on. If not specified it will be set tothe region of the TCP Proxy. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. --global-backend-service- If set, the backend service is global.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--global- If set, the target TCP proxy is global.
--region=REGION- Region of the target TCP proxy to create. If not specified, you might beprompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloudcomputeregionslistTo unset the property, run:
gcloudconfigunsetcompute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION
