You can reference these tags in network firewall policy rules. For instructions, see https://cloud.google.com/firewall/docs/use-tags-for-firewalls.
--autoscaling-profile=AUTOSCALING_PROFILE- Set autoscaling behaviour, choices are 'optimize-utilization' and 'balanced'. Default is 'balanced'.
--boot-disk-kms-key=BOOT_DISK_KMS_KEY- The Customer Managed Encryption Key used to encrypt the boot disk attached to each node in the node pool. This should be of the form projects/[KEY_PROJECT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION]/keyRings/[RING_NAME]/cryptoKeys/[KEY_NAME]. For more information about protecting resources with Cloud KMS Keys please see: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/customer-managed-encryption
--cloud-run-config=[load-balancer-type=EXTERNAL,…]-
Configurations for Cloud Run addon, requires
--addons=CloudRunfor create and--update-addons=CloudRun=ENABLEDfor update.load-balancer-type-
(Optional) Type of load-balancer-type EXTERNAL or INTERNAL.
Examples:
gcloud container clusters create example-cluster --cloud-run-config=load-balancer-type=INTERNAL
--cluster-ipv4-cidr=CLUSTER_IPV4_CIDR-
The IP address range for the pods in this cluster in CIDR notation (e.g.
10.0.0.0/14). Prior to Kubernetes version 1.7.0 this must be a subset of
10.0.0.0/8; however, starting with version 1.7.0 can be any RFC 1918 IP range.
If you omit this option, a range is chosen automatically. The automatically chosen range is randomly selected from 10.0.0.0/8 and will not include IP address ranges allocated to VMs, existing routes, or ranges allocated to other clusters. The automatically chosen range might conflict with reserved IP addresses, dynamic routes, or routes within VPCs that peer with this cluster. You should specify
--cluster-ipv4-cidrto prevent conflicts.This field is not applicable in a Shared VPC setup where the IP address range for the pods must be specified with
--cluster-secondary-range-name --cluster-secondary-range-name=NAME- Set the secondary range to be used as the source for pod IPs. Alias ranges will be allocated from this secondary range. NAME must be the name of an existing secondary range in the cluster subnetwork. Cannot be specified unless '--enable-ip-alias' option is also specified. Cannot be used with '--create-subnetwork' option.
--cluster-version=CLUSTER_VERSION-
The Kubernetes version to use for the master and nodes. Defaults to
server-specified.
The default Kubernetes version is available using the following command.
gcloud container get-server-config --containerd-config-from-file=PATH_TO_FILE-
Path of the YAML file that contains containerd configuration entries like
configuring access to private image registries.
For detailed information on the configuration usage, please refer to https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/customize-containerd-configuration.
Note: Updating the containerd configuration of an existing cluster or node pool requires recreation of the existing nodes, which might cause disruptions in running workloads.
Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of containerd_config.
--create-subnetwork=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Create a new subnetwork for the cluster. The name and range of the subnetwork
can be customized via optional 'name' and 'range' key-value pairs.
'name' specifies the name of the subnetwork to be created.
'range' specifies the IP range for the new subnetwork. This can either be a netmask size (e.g. '/20') or a CIDR range (e.g. '10.0.0.0/20'). If a netmask size is specified, the IP is automatically taken from the free space in the cluster's network.
Examples:
Create a new subnetwork with a default name and size.
gcloud container clusters create --create-subnetwork ""Create a new subnetwork named "my-subnet" with netmask of size 21.
gcloud container clusters create --create-subnetwork name=my-subnet,range=/21Create a new subnetwork with a default name with the primary range of 10.100.0.0/16.
gcloud container clusters create --create-subnetwork range=10.100.0.0/16Create a new subnetwork with the name "my-subnet" with a default range.
gcloud container clusters create --create-subnetwork name=my-subnet --database-encryption-key=DATABASE_ENCRYPTION_KEY-
Enable Database Encryption.
Enable database encryption that will be used to encrypt Kubernetes Secrets at the application layer. The key provided should be the resource ID in the format of
projects/[KEY_PROJECT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION]/keyRings/[RING_NAME]/cryptoKeys/[KEY_NAME]. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/encrypting-secrets. --default-max-pods-per-node=DEFAULT_MAX_PODS_PER_NODE-
The default max number of pods per node for node pools in the cluster.
This flag sets the default max-pods-per-node for node pools in the cluster. If --max-pods-per-node is not specified explicitly for a node pool, this flag value will be used.
Must be used in conjunction with '--enable-ip-alias'.
--disable-default-snat-
Disable default source NAT rules applied in cluster nodes.
By default, cluster nodes perform source network address translation (SNAT) for packets sent from Pod IP address sources to destination IP addresses that are not in the non-masquerade CIDRs list. For more details about SNAT and IP masquerading, see: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/ip-masquerade-agent#how_ipmasq_works SNAT changes the packet's source IP address to the node's internal IP address.
When this flag is set, GKE does not perform SNAT for packets sent to any destination. You must set this flag if the cluster uses privately reused public IPs.
The --disable-default-snat flag is only applicable to private GKE clusters, which are inherently VPC-native. Thus, --disable-default-snat requires that you also set --enable-ip-alias and --enable-private-nodes.
--disable-l4-lb-firewall-reconciliation- Disable reconciliation on the cluster for L4 Load Balancer VPC firewalls targeting ingress traffic.
--disk-size=DISK_SIZE- Size for node VM boot disks in GB. Defaults to 100GB.
--disk-type=DISK_TYPE-
Type of the node VM boot disk. For version 1.24 and later, defaults to
pd-balanced. For versions earlier than 1.24, defaults to pd-standard.
DISK_TYPEmust be one of:pd-standard,pd-ssd,pd-balanced,hyperdisk-balanced,hyperdisk-extreme,hyperdisk-throughput. - Enable enforcement of --master-authorized-networks CIDR ranges for traffic reaching cluster's control plane via private IP.
--enable-autorepair-
Enable node autorepair feature for a cluster's default node pool(s).
gcloud container clusters create example-cluster --enable-autorepairNode autorepair is enabled by default for clusters using COS, COS_CONTAINERD, UBUNTU or UBUNTU_CONTAINERD as a base image, use --no-enable-autorepair to disable.
See https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/node-auto-repair for more info.
--enable-autoupgrade-
Sets autoupgrade feature for a cluster's default node pool(s).
gcloud container clusters create example-cluster --enable-autoupgradeSee https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/node-auto-upgrades for more info.

At most one of these can be specified:
--ephemeral-storage-local-ssd[=[count=COUNT]]-
Parameters for the ephemeral storage filesystem. If unspecified, ephemeral
storage is backed by the boot disk.
Examples:
gcloud container clusters create example_cluster --ephemeral-storage-local-ssd count=2'count' specifies the number of local SSDs to use to back ephemeral storage. Local SDDs use NVMe interfaces. For first- and second-generation machine types, a nonzero count field is required for local ssd to be configured. For third-generation machine types, the count field is optional because the count is inferred from the machine type.
See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for more information.
--local-nvme-ssd-block[=[count=COUNT]]-
Adds the requested local SSDs on all nodes in default node pool(s) in the new

For first- and second-generation machine types, a nonzero count field is required for local ssd to be configured. For third-generation machine types, the count field is optional because the count is inferred from the machine type.
See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for more information.
--local-ssd-count=LOCAL_SSD_COUNT-
The number of local SSD disks to provision on each node, formatted and mounted
in the filesystem.
Local SSDs have a fixed 375 GB capacity per device. The number of disks that can be attached to an instance is limited by the maximum number of disks available on a machine, which differs by compute zone. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for more information.
