How to create a Google Cloud Filestore instance

Question

I am using gcloud command line tool. Can somebody help me with creating a Google Cloud Filestore instance?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Create an instance by running the instances create command, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

gcloud filestore instances create [INSTANCE_ID] \ --project=[PROJECT_ID] \ --zone=[ZONE] \ --tier=[TIER] \ --file-share=name="[FILESHARE_NAME]",capacity=[FILESHARE_SIZE] \ --network=name="[VPC_NETWORK]",reserved-ip-range="[RESERVED_IP_ADDRESS]"

where the parameters are as follows:

• [INSTANCE_ID] is the identifier you specify for the instance.

• [PROJECT_ID] is the ID of the GCP project in which to create the instance.

• [ZONE] is the GCP zone in which to create the instance.

• [TIER] is the Cloud Filestore service tier you want to use

• [FILESHARE_NAME] is the name you specify for the NFS fileshare that is served from the instance. 

• [FILESHARE_SIZE] is the size you want for the fileshare.

• [VPC_NETWORK] is the name of the VPC network you want the instance to use. 

• [RESERVED_IP_ADDRESS] is the IP address range for the Cloud Filestore instance.
