To create a zonal backend service "backend-service-1" for a load balancer, run:
gdcloud compute backend-services create backend-service-1 \
--health-check=my-health-check \
--target-ports=UDP:80:8080
To create a global backend service "backend-service-1" for a load balancer, run:
gdcloud compute backend-services create backend-service-1 \
--health-check=my-health-check \
--target-ports=UDP:80:8080 \
--global
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--global If set, the global backend service object is created.
--health-check string Name of the health check parameters object for this backend service.
--target-ports strings Comma-separated list of target ports that this backend service will translate, where each target port specifies the protocol, the port on the forwarding rule, and the port on the backend instance. Format: '{protocol}:{port}:{targetport}'.
--zone string Zone to use for this invocation. To preset the zone flag for all commands that require it, run: "gdcloud config set core/zone ZONE". The zone flag is available only in multi-zone environments.
GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
