Method: projects.locations.networkPolicies.create

Creates a new network policy in a given VMware Engine network of a project and location (region). A new network policy cannot be created if another network policy already exists in the same scope.

HTTP request

POST https://vmwareengine.googleapis.com/v1/{parent=projects/*/locations/*}/networkPolicies

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
parent

string

Required. The resource name of the location (region) to create the new network policy in. Resource names are schemeless URIs that follow the conventions in https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names. For example: projects/my-project/locations/us-central1

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource parent:

  • vmwareengine.networkPolicies.create

Query parameters

Parameters
networkPolicyId

string

Required. The user-provided identifier of the network policy to be created. This identifier must be unique within parent projects/{my-project}/locations/{us-central1}/networkPolicies and becomes the final token in the name URI. The identifier must meet the following requirements:

  • Only contains 1-63 alphanumeric characters and hyphens
  • Begins with an alphabetical character
  • Ends with a non-hyphen character
  • Not formatted as a UUID
  • Complies with RFC 1034 (section 3.5)
requestId

string

Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server guarantees that a request doesn't result in creation of duplicate commitments for at least 60 minutes.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Request body

The request body contains an instance of NetworkPolicy.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains a newly created instance of Operation.

Authorization scopes

Requires the following OAuth scope:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
