DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Create a new Memorystore for Redis Cluster instance, anduses Private Service Connect service connectivity automation to automateconnectivity for instances.

This command can fail for the following reasons:

  • A cluster with the same name already exists.
  • The active account does not have permission to create clusters.
  • Some required APIs not enabled yet.
  • No connection policy defined yet on the network and in the region a cluster willbe created.
  • Miss the steps for creating and configuring a service account (to grantpermissions) in both host project and service project, if a shared VPC networkis used.

Refer tohttps://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/cluster/networking#prerequisites_required_before_creating_a_clusterfor prerequisites.

EXAMPLES
To create a cluster with namemy-redis-cluster in regionus-central1 with 3 shards and with a discovery endpoint created onnetwork "default", run:
gcloudalpharedisclusterscreatemy-redis-cluster--region=us-central1--shard-count=3--network=projects/NETWORK_PROJECT_ID/global/networks/default
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Cluster resource - Arguments and flags that specify the cluster you want tocreate. Your cluster ID must be 1 to 63 characters and use only lowercaseletters, numbers, or hyphens. It must start with a lowercase letter and end witha lowercase letter or number. The arguments in this group can be used to specifythe attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given argumentsin this group but can be set in other ways.

To set theproject attribute:

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

This must be specified.

CLUSTER
ID of the cluster or fully qualified identifier for the cluster.

To set thecluster attribute:

  • provide the argumentcluster 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 Redis region of the cluster. Overrides the default redis/regionproperty value for this command invocation.To set theregion attribute:
  • provide the argumentcluster on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--region on the command line;
  • set the propertyredis/region.
FLAGS
--aof-append-fsync=AOF_APPEND_FSYNC
Fsync configuration.AOF_APPEND_FSYNC must be one of:
always
Redis explicitly calls fsync for every write command.
everysec
(default) Redis explicitly calls fsync every second.
no
Redis will not explicitly call fsync.
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--auth-mode=AUTH_MODE
Available authorization mode of a Redis cluster.AUTH_MODE must be one of:
disabled
Authorization is disabled for the cluster.

disabled
(default) Automated backup is disabled.
enabled
Automated backup is enabled.
--automated-backup-start-time=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_START_TIME
One-hour window when you want automated-backup operations to start. Specify thetime in the format HH:00 on a 24-hour cycle in UTC time.
--automated-backup-ttl=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_TTL
Time to live for automated backups. A backup will be deleted automatically afterthe TTL is reached. It ranges from 1 day to 365 days. For example, "10d" for 10days. If not specified, the default value is 35 days.
--cross-cluster-replication-role=CROSS_CLUSTER_REPLICATION_ROLE
The role of the cluster in cross cluster replication.CROSS_CLUSTER_REPLICATION_ROLE must be (only one valueis supported):
secondary
Create a secondary cluster.
--deletion-protection
Enable deletion protection for the Redis Cluster. Use--deletion-protection/--no-deletion-protection toenable/disable it.
--kms-key=KMS_KEY
The resource name of the customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) to use for thecluster. It must use this format:projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/keyRings/KEY_RING/cryptoKeys/CRYPTO_KEY.The key must be in the same region as the cluster. Otherwise, the createoperation fails.

--maintenance-window-hour=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_HOUR
Hour of day (0 to23) for the start of maintenancewindow, in UTC time zone.
--network=NETWORK
The network used to create your instance. It must use the format:projects/NETWORK_PROJECT_ID/global/networks/NETWORK_ID. The network ID used heremust match the network ID used by the service connection policy. Otherwise, thecreate operation fails
--node-type=NODE_TYPE
Node Type of the redis cluster Node.NODE_TYPE must beone of:redis-highmem-medium,redis-highmem-xlarge,redis-shared-core-nano,redis-standard-small.

Transit encryption mode used for the Redis cluster. If not provided, encryptionis disabled for the cluster.TRANSIT_ENCRYPTION_MODEmust be one of:
disabled
In-transit encryption is disabled for the cluster.
server-authentication
The cluster uses server managed encryption for in-transit encryption.
--zone=ZONE
