- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute target-instances create
is used to create a target instance for handling traffic from one or more forwarding rules. Target instances are ideal for traffic that should be managed by a single source. For more information on target instances, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/protocol-forwarding/#targetinstances - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
NAME
- Name of the target instance to operate on.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--instance
=INSTANCE
- The name of the virtual machine instance that will handle the traffic.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
--description
=DESCRIPTION
- An optional, textual description of the target instance.
--instance-zone
=INSTANCE_ZONE
-
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, it will be set to the same
as zone. Overrides the default

property value for this command invocation. --network
=NETWORK
- Network that this target instance applies to. This is only necessary if the corresponding instance has multiple network interfaces. If not specified, the default network interface will be used.
--zone
=ZONE
-
Zone of the target instance to operate on. If not specified and the
property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zone
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zone
gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
