Required. The parent of the project and location where the cluster is created in. Format: "projects/{project}/locations/{location}"
Query parameters
Parameters
vmwareAdminClusterId
string
Required. User provided identifier that is used as part of the resource name; must conform to RFC-1034 and additionally restrict to lower-cased letters. This comes out roughly to: /^[a-z][a-z0-9.-]+[a-z0-9]$/
validateOnly
boolean
Validate the request without actually doing any updates.
allowPreflightFailure
boolean
Optional. If set to true, CLM will force CCFE to persist the cluster resource in RMS when the creation fails during standalone preflight checks. In that case the subsequent create call will fail with "cluster already exists" error and hence a update cluster is required to fix the cluster.
