gcloud compute disks bulk create

NAME
gcloud compute disks bulk create - create multiple Compute Engine disks
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute disks bulk create--source-consistency-group-policy=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_POLICY(--region=REGION    |--zone=ZONE)[GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute disks bulk create facilitates the creation ofmultiple Compute Engine disks with a single command. This includes cloning a setof Async PD secondary disks with the same consistency group policy.
EXAMPLES
To consistently clone secondary disks with the same consistency group policy'projects/example-project/regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy'to target zone 'us-central1-a', run:
gcloudcomputedisksbulkcreate--source-consistency-group-policy=projects/example-project/regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy--zone=us-central1-a
REQUIRED FLAGS
--source-consistency-group-policy=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_POLICY
URL of the source consistency group resource policy. The resource policy isalways the same region as the source disks.
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--region=REGION
Target region of the created disks, which currently must be the same as thesource region. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region(interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/region property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputeregionslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE
Target zone of the created disks, which currently must be the same as the sourcezone. If not specified and thecompute/zoneproperty isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive modeonly).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands:--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.
