EXAMPLES
To create an index under project example in region us-central1, encrypted with KMS key kms-key-name, run: 
gcloud alpha ai indexes create --display-name=index --description=test --metadata-file=path/to/your/metadata.json --project=example --region=us-central1 --encryption-kms-key-name=kms-key-name
