gcloud alpha managed-kafka topics create (TOPIC : --cluster=CLUSTER --location=LOCATION) --partitions=PARTITIONS --replication-factor=REPLICATION_FACTOR [--configs=[KEY=VALUE,…]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Create a Managed Service for Apache Kafka topic.
EXAMPLES
To create a topic in a cluster named mycluster located in us-central1, run the following: 
gcloud alpha managed-kafka topics create mytopic --cluster=mycluster --location=us-central1 --partitions=1 --replication-factor=3
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Topic resource - Identifies the name of the topic that this command creates. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this 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 topic on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --project on the command line;
  • set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

TOPIC
ID of the topic or fully qualified identifier for the topic.

To set the topic attribute:

  • provide the argument topic on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--cluster=CLUSTER
The cluster name. To set the cluster attribute:
  • provide the argument topic on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --cluster on the command line.
--location=LOCATION
ID of the location of the Managed Service for Apache Kafka resource. See https://cloud.google.com/managed-service-for-apache-kafka/docs/locations for a list of supported locations. To set the location attribute:
  • provide the argument topic on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --location on the command line.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--partitions=PARTITIONS
The number of partitions in a topic. You can increase the partition count for a topic, but you cannot decrease it. Increasing partitions for a topic that uses a key might change how messages are distributed.
--replication-factor=REPLICATION_FACTOR
The number of replicas of each partition. A replication factor of 3 is recommended for high availability.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--configs=[KEY=VALUE,…]
Configuration for the topic that are overridden from the cluster defaults. The key of the map is a Kafka topic property name, for example: cleanup.policy=compact,compression.type=producer. If you provide a map with a key that already exists, only that configuration is updated. If the map contains a key that does not exist, the entry is appended to the topic configuration.
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.
