POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Config resource - The group of arguments defining a config 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 config 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.

CONFIG
ID of the config or fully qualified identifier for the config.

To set the config attribute:

  • provide the argument config 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 for the config.

To set the cluster attribute:

  • provide the argument config on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --cluster on the command line;
  • set the property workstations/cluster.
--region=REGION
The region for the config.

To set the region attribute:

  • provide the argument config on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --region on the command line;
  • set the property workstations/region.
FLAGS
--allow-unauthenticated-cors-preflight-requests
By default, the workstations service makes sure that all requests to the workstation are authenticated. CORS preflight requests do not include cookies or custom headers, and so are considered unauthenticated and blocked by the workstations service. Enabling this option allows these unauthenticated CORS preflight requests through to the workstation, where it becomes the responsibility of the destination server in the workstation to validate the request
--allowed-ports=[ALLOWED_PORTS,…]
A Single or Range of ports externally accessible in the workstation. If not specified defaults to ports 22, 80 and ports 1024-65535.

To specify a single port, both first and last should be same.

gcloud alpha workstations configs create --allowed-ports=first=9000,last=9090
gcloud alpha workstations configs create --allowed-ports=first=80,last=80

Sets allowed_ports value.

first
Required, Sets first value.
last
Required, Sets last value.
Shorthand Example:
--allowed-ports=first=int,last=int
