  TEMPLATE
  [--api-version API_VERSION; default="v1beta2"]

  [-h]

DESCRIPTION

This command inserts (creates) a template resource.

You must provide a relative path to a local template file, either in YAML or JSON format, to create a template resource.

If you want to use actions in your template, you can use a combination of script files and commands to specify your actions. In some cases, you might want to group a number of related commands into a script file for organization and readability reasons.

To include a local script file, use the %file prefix in front of your script file’s path. For example, if you specify the following in your template:

actions:
  install-apache:
    commands: [
      "apt-get update",
      "apt-get -y install apache2",
      "%file:/path/to/my/website-setup-script.sh"
    ]

the third command would copy the contents of the local file /path/to/my/website-setup-script.sh to a file on your Compute Engine virtual machines, and execute that file. For more information, please see https://developers.google.com/deployment-manager/yaml#includes

Please note that each command or %file entry in your template must be less than 32KB in size, and the aggregate size of all of your commands must be less than 512KB.
