DESCRIPTION: (ALPHA) Create a Cloud Spanner instance.
EXAMPLES: To create a Cloud Spanner instance, run:
gcloud alpha spanner instances create my-instance-id --config=regional-us-east1 --description=my-instance-display-name --nodes=3
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: INSTANCE

Cloud Spanner instance ID.
REQUIRED FLAGS: --config=CONFIG

Instance configuration defines the geographic placement and replication of the databases in that instance. Available configurations can be found by running "gcloud spanner instance-configs list"

--description=DESCRIPTION

Description of the instance.
OPTIONAL FLAGS: --async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--default-backup-schedule-type=DEFAULT_BACKUP_SCHEDULE_TYPE

The default backup schedule type that is used in the instance. DEFAULT_BACKUP_SCHEDULE_TYPE must be one of:

AUTOMATIC

A default backup schedule is created automatically when a new database is created in an instance. You can edit or delete the default backup schedule once it's created. The default backup schedule creates a full backup every 24 hours. These full backups are retained for 7 days.

DEFAULT_BACKUP_SCHEDULE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED

Not specified.

NONE

No default backup schedule is created automatically when a new database is created in an instance.

--edition=EDITION

Cloud Spanner edition. EDITION must be one of:

EDITION_UNSPECIFIED

Spanner's legacy pricing model. For more information, see the Spanner editions overview

ENTERPRISE

Enterprise edition

ENTERPRISE_PLUS

Enterprise Plus edition

STANDARD

Standard edition

--expire-behavior=EXPIRE_BEHAVIOR

The expire behavior of a free trial instance. EXPIRE_BEHAVIOR must be one of:

free-to-provisioned

When the free trial instance expires, upgrade the instance to a provisioned instance.

remove-after-grace-period

When the free trial instance expires, disable the instance, and delete it after the grace period passes if it has not been upgraded to a provisioned instance.

--instance-type=INSTANCE_TYPE

Specifies the type for this instance. INSTANCE_TYPE must be one of:

free-instance

Free trial instances provide no guarantees for dedicated resources, both node_count and processing_units should be 0. They come with stricter usage limits and limited support.

provisioned

Provisioned instances have dedicated resources, standard usage limits, and support.

At most one of these can be specified:

--nodes=NODES

Number of nodes for the instance.

--processing-units=PROCESSING_UNITS

Number of processing units for the instance.

Autoscaling (Preview)

--autoscaling-high-priority-cpu-target=AUTOSCALING_HIGH_PRIORITY_CPU_TARGET

Specifies the target percentage of high-priority CPU the autoscaled instance can utilize.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--autoscaling-storage-target=AUTOSCALING_STORAGE_TARGET

Specifies the target percentage of storage the autoscaled instance can utilize.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

Exactly one of these must be specified:

Autoscaling limits in nodes

--autoscaling-max-nodes=AUTOSCALING_MAX_NODES

Maximum number of nodes for the autoscaled instance.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--autoscaling-min-nodes=AUTOSCALING_MIN_NODES

Minimum number of nodes for the autoscaled instance.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

Autoscaling limits in processing units

--autoscaling-max-processing-units=AUTOSCALING_MAX_PROCESSING_UNITS

Maximum number of processing units for the autoscaled instance.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--autoscaling-min-processing-units=AUTOSCALING_MIN_PROCESSING_UNITS

Minimum number of processing units for the autoscaled instance.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
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.
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. These variants are also available:
