gcloud alpha compute url-maps create

NAME

gcloud alpha compute url-maps create - create a URL map

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP (--default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET     | --default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE) [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--global     | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute url-maps create is used to create URL maps which map HTTP and HTTPS request URLs to backend services and backend buckets. Mappings are done using a longest-match strategy.

There are two components to a mapping: a host rule and a path matcher. A host rule maps one or more hosts to a path matcher. A path matcher maps request paths to backend services or backend buckets. For example, a host rule can map the hosts *.google.com and google.com to a path matcher called www. The www path matcher in turn can map the path /search/* to the search backend service, the path /static/* to the static backend bucket and everything else to a default backend service or default backend bucket.

Host rules and patch matchers can be added to the URL map after the map is created by using gcloud compute url-maps edit or by using gcloud compute url-maps add-path-matcher and gcloud compute url-maps add-host-rule.

EXAMPLES

To create a global URL map with a default service, run:

gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME --default-service=BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME

To create a regional URL map with a default service, run:

gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME --default-service=BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME --region=REGION_NAME

To create a global URL map with a default backend bucket, run:

gcloud alpha compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME --default-backend-bucket=BACKEND_BUCKET_NAME

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

URL_MAP

Name of the URL map to create.

REQUIRED FLAGS

Exactly one of these must be specified:

--default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET

A backend bucket that will be used for requests for which this URL map has no mappings. Exactly one of --default-service or --default-backend-bucket is required.

--default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE

A backend service that will be used for requests for which this URL map has no mappings. Exactly one of --default-service or --default-backend-bucket is required.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--description=DESCRIPTION

An optional, textual description for the URL map.

At most one of these can be specified:

--global

If set, the URL map is global.

--region=REGION

Region of the URL map to create. 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 the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be 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.

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.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
