create security policies. A security policy policy is a set of rules that
controls access to various resources.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create a security policy with a given type and description, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute security\-policies create my\-policy \e
    \-\-type=CLOUD_ARMOR_EDGE \-\-description="policy description"
.RE

To create a security from an input file, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute security\-policies create my\-policy \e
    \-\-file\-name=my\-file\-name
