gcloud compute tpus create

NAME
gcloud compute tpus create - create a new Cloud TPU
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute tpus create (TPU : --zone=ZONE) --version=VERSION [--accelerator-type=ACCELERATOR_TYPE; default="v2-8"] [--async] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--network=NETWORK; default="default"] [--preemptible] [--range=RANGE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
Create a new Cloud TPU.
EXAMPLES
The following command creates a TPU with ID my-tpu in the default user project, network and compute/region (with other defaults supplied by API): 
gcloud compute tpus create my-tpu
 The following command creates a TPU with ID my-tpu with explicit values for all required and optional parameters: 
gcloud compute tpus create my-tpu --zone=us-central1-a --range='10.240.0.0/29' --accelerator-type='v2-8' --network=my-tf-network --description='My TF Node' --version='1.1'
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Tpu resource - The Cloud TPU you want to create. 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 tpu 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.

TPU
ID of the tpu or fully qualified identifier for the tpu.

To set the tpu attribute:

  • provide the argument tpu on the command line.

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

--zone=ZONE
The compute/zone of the Cloud TPU.

If not specified, will use default compute/zone. To set the zone attribute:

  • provide the argument tpu on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --zone on the command line;
  • set the property compute/zone.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--version=VERSION
TensorFlow version for the TPU, such as 1.14. For a list of available TensorFlow versions please see https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--accelerator-type=ACCELERATOR_TYPE; default="v2-8"
TPU accelerator type for the TPU. If not specified, this defaults to v2-8.

For a list of available accelerator types run:

gcloud compute tpus accelerator-types list

--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--description=DESCRIPTION
Specifies a text description of the TPU.
--network=NETWORK; default="default"
Specifies the network that this TPU will be a part of.
--preemptible
If provided, the TPU will be preemptible and time-limited. It may be preempted to free up resources for standard TPUs, and will only be able to run for a limited amount of time.

Preemptible TPUs cannot be restarted.

--range=RANGE
CIDR Range for the TPU.

The IP range that the TPU will select an IP address from. Must be in CIDR notation and a /29 range, for example 192.168.0.0/29. Errors will occur if the CIDR range has already been used for a currently existing TPU, the CIDR range conflicts with any networks in the user's provided network, or the provided network is peered with another network that is using that CIDR range.

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.
