gcloud alpha kms key-handles create

NAME
gcloud alpha kms key-handles create - create a new key handle
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha kms key-handles create --location=LOCATION --resource-type=RESOURCE_TYPE (--generate-key-handle-id     | --key-handle-id=KEY_HANDLE_ID) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Creates a new KeyHandle, triggering the provisioning of a new CryptoKey for CMEK use with the given resource type in the configured key project and the same location
EXAMPLES
The following command creates a key handle named my-key-handle within the location global for the resource type compute.googleapis.com/Disk: 
gcloud alpha kms key-handles create --key-handle-id=my-key-handle --my-key-handle --location=global --resource-type=compute.googleapis.com/Disk

In case we want to generate a random key handle id, we can use the --generate-key-handle-id flag instead of the --key-handle-id flag.

REQUIRED FLAGS
Location resource - The KMS location resource. This represents a Cloud resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set the project attribute:

  • provide the argument --location on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

--location=LOCATION
ID of the location or fully qualified identifier for the location.

To set the location attribute:

  • provide the argument --location on the command line.
--resource-type=RESOURCE_TYPE
The resource type selector for key handles of the form {SERVICE}.googleapis.com/{TYPE}.
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--generate-key-handle-id
Generate a key handle id for the new key handle.
--key-handle-id=KEY_HANDLE_ID
The key handle id for the new key handle.
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.

NOTES
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.
