GCLOUD_COMPUTE_ADDRESSES_CREATE(1)

NAME

gcloud compute addresses create - reserve IP addresses

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute addresses create [NAME ...] [--addresses=ADDRESS,[ADDRESS,...]] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--global | --region=REGION] [GLOBAL-FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute addresses create is used to reserve one or more IP addresses. Once an IP address is reserved, it will be associated with the project until it is released using 'gcloud compute addresses delete'. Ephemeral IP addresses that are in use by resources in the project, can be reserved using the --addresses flag.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

    [NAME ...]
        The address names to operate on.

FLAGS

    --addresses=ADDRESS,[ADDRESS,...]
        Ephemeral IP addresses to promote to reserved status. Only addresses that are being used by resources in the project can be promoted. When providing this flag, a parallel list of names for the addresses can be provided. For example,
        $ gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS-1 ADDRESS-2 \
          --addresses 162.222.181.197,162.222.181.198 \
          --region us-central1
    will result in 162.222.181.197 being reserved as 'ADDRESS-1' and 162.222.181.198 as 'ADDRESS-2'. If no names are given, server-generated names will be assigned to the IP addresses.

    --description=DESCRIPTION
        An optional textual description for the addresses.

At most one of these may be specified:

    --global
        If provided, it is assumed the address name is global.

    --region=REGION
        The region of the address name to operate on. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a region. To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:
        $ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
    A list of regions can be fetched by running:
        $ gcloud compute regions list
    To unset the property, run:
        $ gcloud config unset compute/region
    Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

GLOBAL FLAGS
Run $ gcloud help for a description of flags available to all commands.

EXAMPLES
To reserve three IP addresses in the us-central1 region, run:
    $ gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS-1 ADDRESS-2 ADDRESS-3 \
        --region us-central1
To reserve ephemeral IP addresses 162.222.181.198 and 23.251.146.189 which are being used by virtual machine instances in the us-central1 region, run:
    $ gcloud compute addresses create \
        --addresses 162.222.181.198,23.251.146.189 --region us-central1
In the above invocation, the two addresses will be assigned random names.
