.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR Create a new Memorystore Memcached instance.

This command can fail for the following reasons:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
An instance with the same name already exists.
.IP "\(bu" 2m
The active account does not have the necessary permissions to create instances.
.RE
.sp



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create a Memcached instance named 'my\-memcache\-instance' in region
\'us\-central1' with 3 nodes, each with 2 CPUs and 2GB of memory, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha memcache instances create my\-memcache\-instance \e
    \-\-region=us\-central1 \-\-node\-count=3 \-\-node\-cpu=2 \e
    \-\-node\-memory=2GB

.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

Instance resource \- Arguments and flags that specify the Memcached instance to
create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of
this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but
can be set in other ways.

To set the \f5project\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(em" 2m
provide the argument \f5instance\fR on the command line with a fully specified
name;
.IP "\(em" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-project\fR on the command line;
.IP "\(em" 2m
set the property \f5core/project\fR.
.RE
.sp

This must be specified.


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIINSTANCE\fR

.sp

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this
group are specified.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

The name of the Memcached region of the instance. Overrides the default
memcache/region property value for this command invocation.


To set the \f5region\fR attribute:
