NAME

gcloud-compute-addresses-create - Reserve IP addresses

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute addresses create
  [NAME …]
  [--addresses ADDRESS [ADDRESS …]]
  [--description DESCRIPTION]
  [--format FORMAT]
  [--help]
  [--project PROJECT]
  [--quiet, -q]
  [--global | --region REGION]
  [-h]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute addresses create is used to reserve one or more IP addresses. Once an IP address is reserved, it will be associated with the project until it is released using gcloud compute addresses delete . Ephemeral IP addresses that are in use by resources in the project, can be reserved using the “--addresses” flag.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

[NAME …]

The names to assign to the reserved IP addresses.

FLAGS

--addresses ADDRESS [ADDRESS …]

Ephemeral IP addresses to promote to reserved status. Only addresses that are being used by resources in the project can be promoted. When providing this flag, a parallel list of names for the addresses can be provided. For example,

$ gcloud compute addresses create my-address-1 my-address-2 \
    --addresses 162.222.181.197 162.222.181.198 \
    --region us-central2

will result in 162.222.181.197 being reserved as “my-address-1” and 162.222.181.198 as “my-address-2”. If no names are given, randomly-generated names will be assigned to the IP addresses.

--description DESCRIPTION

An optional textual description for the addresses.

--format FORMAT

Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of the available options will serialize the result of the command in the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are: "json", "text", "yaml".

--global

If provided, it is assumed the addresses are global.

--help

Display detailed help.

--project PROJECT

Google Cloud Platform project to use for this invocation.

--quiet

Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.

--region REGION

The region of the address to operate on. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a region.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the “compute/region” property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable “CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION”.

-h

Print a summary help and exit.

EXAMPLES

To reserve three IP addresses in the “us-central2” region, run:

$ gcloud compute addresses create my-address-1 my-address-2 my-address-3 \
    --region us-central2

To reserve ephemeral IP addresses 162.222.181.198 and 23.251.146.189 which are being used by virtual machine instances in the “us-central2” region, run:

$ gcloud compute addresses create --addresses 162.222.181.198 23.251.146.189 \
    --region us-central2

In the above invocation, the two addresses will be assigned random names.
