gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm service-identity create

NAME
gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm service-identity create - create a Cloud TPU VM service identity for a project
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm service-identity create [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
Create a Cloud TPU VM service identity for a project.

The Cloud TPU VM creates a service identity (Google-owned service account) for management of resources when the first Cloud TPU VM is created in a project after TPU service activation. However, there are cases where the service identity may need to be created beforehand to grant specific IAM permissions to it, like access to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. This method generates the service account without need to first create a Cloud TPU VM.

This command generates a service identity valid for Cloud TPU VMs across all zones in a project. The zone is required (either set in the gcloud config defaults, as an environment variable, or --zone flag), but the service identity generated will work across all Cloud TPU VM zones.

EXAMPLES
To generate a Cloud TPU VM service identity for a project (using zone europe-west4-a), run: 
gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm service-identity create --zone=europe-west4-a
FLAGS
Location resource - Zone to use for the request.

If not specified, will use the value of the [compute/zone] property in the current gcloud configuration. This represents a Cloud 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 --zone on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • set the property compute/zone with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --project on the command line;
  • set the property core/project.
--zone=ZONE
ID of the location or fully qualified identifier for the location.

To set the zone attribute:

  • provide the argument --zone on the command line;
  • set the property compute/zone.
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.
