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.
--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:
