- DESCRIPTION
- Creates a new release, delivery pipeline qualified.
- EXAMPLES
-
To create a release with source located at storage URL
gs://bucket/object.zipand the first rollout in the first target of the promotion sequence:gcloud deploy releases create my-release --source=`gs://bucket/object.zip` --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1To create a release with source located at current directory and deploy a rollout to target prod :
gcloud deploy releases create my-release --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1 --to-target=prodThe following command creates a release without a
skaffold.yamlas input, and generates one for you:gcloud deploy releases create my-release --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1 --from-k8s-manifest=path/to/kubernetes/k8.yamlThe current UTC date and time on the machine running the gcloud command can also be included in the release name by adding $DATE and $TIME parameters:
gcloud deploy releases create 'my-release-$DATE-$TIME' --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1If the current UTC date and time is set to 2021-12-21 12:02, then the created release will have its name set as my-release-20211221-1202.
When using these parameters, please be sure to wrap the release name in single quotes or else the template parameters will be overridden by environment variables.

- FLAGS
-
--annotations=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Annotations to apply to the release. Annotations take the form of key/value
string pairs.
Examples:
Add annotations:
gcloud deploy releases create --annotations="from_target=test,status=stable" --deploy-parameters=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Deployment parameters to apply to the release. Deployment parameters take the
form of key/value string pairs.
Examples:
Add deployment parameters:
gcloud deploy releases create --deploy-parameters="key1=value1,key2=value2" --description=DESCRIPTION- Description of the release.
--gcs-source-staging-dir=GCS_SOURCE_STAGING_DIR-
A directory in Google Cloud Storage to copy the source used for staging the
build. If the specified bucket does not exist, Cloud Deploy will create one. If
you don't set this field,
gs://[DELIVERY_PIPELINE_ID]_clouddeploy/sourceis used. --ignore-file=IGNORE_FILE-
Override the
.gcloudignorefile and use the specified file instead. --labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Labels to apply to the release. Labels take the form of key/value string pairs.
Examples:
Add labels:
gcloud deploy releases create --labels="commit=abc123,author=foo" --override-deploy-policies=[POLICY,…]- Deploy policies to override
--skaffold-version=SKAFFOLD_VERSION- Version of the Skaffold binary.
--to-target=TO_TARGET- Specifies a target to deliver into upon release creation
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--build-artifacts=BUILD_ARTIFACTS- Reference to a Skaffold build artifacts output file from skaffold build --file-output=BUILD_ARTIFACTS. If you aren't using Skaffold, use the --images flag below to specify the image-names-to-tagged-image references.
--images=[NAME=TAG,…]-
Reference to a collection of individual image name to image full path
replacements.
For example:
gcloud deploy releases create foo --images image1=path/to/image1:v1@sha256:45db24
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--disable-initial-rollout- Skips creating a rollout in the first target defined in the delivery pipeline.
--enable-initial-rollout- Creates a rollout in the first target defined in the delivery pipeline. This is the default behavior.
--initial-rollout-annotations=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Annotations to apply to the initial rollout when creating the release.
Annotations take the form of key/value string pairs.
Examples:
Add annotations:
gcloud deploy releases create --initial-rollout-annotations="from_target=test,status=stable" --initial-rollout-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
Labels to apply to the initial rollout when creating the release. Labels take
the form of key/value string pairs.
Examples:
Add labels:
gcloud deploy releases create initial-rollout-labels="commit=abc123,author=foo" --initial-rollout-phase-id=INITIAL_ROLLOUT_PHASE_ID-
The phase to start the initial rollout at when creating the release. The phase
ID must be a valid phase on the rollout. If not specified, then the rollout will
start at the first phase.
Examples:
Start rollout at
stablephase:gcloud deploy releases create --initial-rollout-phase-id=stable
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--from-k8s-manifest=FROM_K8S_MANIFEST- The path to a Kubernetes manifest, which Cloud Deploy will use to generate a skaffold.yaml file for you (for example, foo/bar/k8.yaml). The generated Skaffold file will be available in the Google Cloud Storage source staging directory (see --gcs-source-staging-dir flag) after the release is complete.
--from-run-manifest=FROM_RUN_MANIFEST- The path to a Cloud Run manifest, which Cloud Deploy will use to generate a skaffold.yaml file for you (for example, foo/bar/service.yaml). The generated Skaffold file will be available in the Google Cloud Storage source staging directory (see --gcs-source-staging-dir flag) after the release is complete.
--skaffold-file=SKAFFOLD_FILE-
Path of the skaffold file absolute or relative to the source directory.
Examples:
Use Skaffold file with relative path: The current working directory is expected to be some part of the skaffold path (e.g. the current working directory could be /home/user)
gcloud deploy releases create --source=/home/user/source --skaffold-file=config/skaffold.yamlThe skaffold file absolute file path is expected to be: /home/user/source/config/skaffold.yaml Use Skaffold file with absolute path and with or without source argument:
gcloud deploy releases create --source=/home/user/source --skaffold-file=/home/user/source/config/skaffold.yamlgcloud deploy releases create --skaffold-file=/home/user/source/config/skaffold.yaml --source=SOURCE; default="."- The location of the source that contains skaffold.yaml. The location can be a directory on a local disk or a gzipped archive file (.tar.gz) in Google Cloud Storage. If the source is a local directory, this command skips the files specified in the --ignore-file. If --ignore-file is not specified, use.gcloudignore file. If a .gcloudignore file is absent and a .gitignore file is present in the local source directory, gcloud will use a generated Git-compatible .gcloudignore file that respects your .gitignored files. The global .gitignore is not respected. For more information on .gcloudignore, see gcloud topic gcloudignore.
