DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute backend-services create is used to create backend services. Backend services define groups of backends that can receive traffic. Each backend group has parameters that define the group’s capacity (e.g., max CPU utilization, max queries per second, …). URL maps define which requests are sent to which backend services.

Backend services created through this command will start out without any backend groups. To add backend groups, use gcloud compute backend-services add-backend or gcloud compute backend-services edit .

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

The name of the backend service.

FLAGS

--description DESCRIPTION

An optional, textual description for the backend service.

--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".

--help

Display detailed help.

--http-health-check HTTP_HEALTH_CHECK

An HTTP health check object for checking the health of the backend service.

--port PORT

The TCP port to use when connected to the backend.

--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.

--timeout TIMEOUT

The amount of time to wait for a backend to respond to a request before considering the request failed. For example, specifying “10s” will give backends 10 seconds to respond to requests. Valid units for this flag are “s” for seconds, “m” for minutes, and “h” for hours.

-h

Print a summary help and exit.
