- EXAMPLES
-
To create a subordinate CA named 'server-tls-1' whose issuer is on Private CA:
gcloud privateca subordinates create server-tls-1 --location=us-west1 --pool=my-pool --subject="CN=Example TLS CA, O=Google" --issuer-pool=other-pool --issuer-location=us-west1 --kms-key-version="projects/my-project-pki/locations/us-west1/keyRings/kr1/cryptoKeys/key2/cryptoKeyVersions/1"
To create a subordinate CA named 'server-tls-1' whose issuer is located elsewhere:
gcloud privateca subordinates create server-tls-1 --location=us-west1 --pool=my-pool --subject="CN=Example TLS CA, O=Google" --create-csr --csr-output-file=./csr.pem --kms-key-version="projects/my-project-pki/locations/us-west1/keyRings/kr1/cryptoKeys/key2/cryptoKeyVersions/1"
To create a subordinate CA named 'server-tls-1' chaining up to a root CA named 'prod-root' based on an existing CA:
gcloud privateca subordinates create server-tls-1 --location=us-west1 --pool=my-pool --issuer-pool=other-pool --issuer-location=us-west1 --from-ca=source-ca --kms-key-version="projects/my-project-pki/locations/us-west1/keyRings/kr1/cryptoKeys/key2/cryptoKeyVersions/1"
