DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Create a new Redis instance.

This command can fail for the following reasons:

  • An instance with the same name already exists.
  • The active account does not have permission to create instances.
EXAMPLES
To create a basic tier instance with the namemy-redis-instance inregionus-central-1 with memory size of 5 GiB, run:
gcloudalpharedisinstancescreatemy-redis-instance--region=us-central1--size=5
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Instance resource - Arguments and flags that specify the Memorystore Redisinstance you want to create. 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 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 Redis region of the instance. Overrides the default redis/regionproperty 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 propertyredis/region.
FLAGS
--alternative-zone=ALTERNATIVE_ZONE
A secondary zone for the Redis instance. Only applicable to the standard tier.This protects the instance against zonal failures by provisioning it across twozones. If provided, alternative zone must be a different zone from the oneprovided through--zone.
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--connect-mode=CONNECT_MODE
Network connection mode used by instances.CONNECT_MODEmust be one of:connect-mode-unspecified,direct-peering,private-service-access.
--customer-managed-key=CUSTOMER_MANAGED_KEY
The KMS key reference that you want to use to encrypt the data at rest for thisRedis instance. If this is provided, CMEK is enabled.
--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
A human-readable name for the instance.
--enable-auth
Enables Redis AUTH for the instance. If omitted AUTH is disabled.
--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores(_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--maintenance-window-hour=MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_HOUR
Hour of day (0 to 23) for maintenance window, in UTC time zone.
--network=NETWORK; default="default"
The name of the Google Compute Engine network to which the instance will beconnected. If left unspecified, the default network will be used.
--persistence-mode=PERSISTENCE_MODE
Operation mode for automated persistence.PERSISTENCE_MODE must be one of:
disabled
RDB mode is disabled
rdb
Automatic RDB persistence
--rdb-snapshot-period=RDB_SNAPSHOT_PERIOD
Attempted period between RDB snapshots.RDB_SNAPSHOT_PERIOD must be one of:
12h
12 hours
1h
1 hour
24h
24 hours
6h
6 hours
--rdb-snapshot-start-time=RDB_SNAPSHOT_START_TIME
Date and time of the first snapshot in the ISO 1801 format, and alignment timefor future snapshots. For example, 2022-11-02T03:00:00Z.
--read-replicas-mode=READ_REPLICAS_MODE
Read replicas mode used by the instance. Only works against standard tierinstances with 5GB and above provisioned capacity.READ_REPLICAS_MODE must be one of:
read-replicas-disabled
Read replica is disabled for the instance. Read endpoint will not be providedand the instance cannot scale up or down the number of replicas.
read-replicas-enabled
Read replica is enabled for the instance. Read endpoint will be provided and theinstance can scale up and down the number of replicas.
--redis-config=[KEY=VALUE,…]
A list of Redis config KEY=VALUE pairs to set on the instance according tohttp://redis.io/topics/config.Currently, the only supported parameters are:

Redis version 3.2 and newer: maxmemory-policy, notify-keyspace-events, timeout,databases.

Redis version 4.0 and newer: activedefrag, lfu-decay-time, lfu-log-factor,maxmemory-gb.

Redis version 5.0 and newer: stream-node-max-bytes, stream-node-max-entries.

--redis-version=VERSION
The version of Redis software.VERSION must be one of:
redis_3_2
Redis 3.2 compatibility
redis_4_0

--replica-count=REPLICA_COUNT
The replica count of the instance.
--reserved-ip-range=RESERVED_IP_RANGE
For DIRECT_PEERING mode, the CIDR range of internal addresses that are reservedfor this instance. Range must be unique and non-overlapping with existingsubnets in an authorized network. For PRIVATE_SERVICE_ACCESS mode, the name ofan IP address range allocated for the private service access connection. If notprovided, the service will choose an unused /29 block, for example, 10.0.0.0/29or 192.168.0.0/29. If READ_REPLICAS_ENABLED is used for the --read-replicas-modeflag, then the block size required for this flag is /28.

disabled
Transit encryption is disabled for the instance.
server-authentication
Client to Server traffic encryption enabled with server authentication.
--zone=ZONE
The zone of the Redis instance. If not provided the service will pick a randomzone in the region. For the standard tier, instances will be created across twozones for protection against zonal failures. So if --alternative-zone is alsoprovided, it must be different from --zone.
