.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create an index under project \f5example\fR in region \f5us\-central1\fR,
encrypted with KMS key \f5kms\-key\-name\fR, run:

.RS 2m

    \-\-metadata\-file=path/to/your/metadata.json \-\-project=example \e
    \-\-region=us\-central1 \-\-encryption\-kms\-key\-name=kms\-key\-name

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-display\-name\fR=\fIDISPLAY_NAME\fR

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-description\fR=\fIDESCRIPTION\fR

Description of the index.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-encryption\-kms\-key\-name\fR=\fIENCRYPTION_KMS_KEY_NAME\fR

The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption key used to
protect a resource. Has the form:
projects/my\-project/locations/my\-region/keyRings/my\-kr/cryptoKeys/my\-key.

The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is created.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-index\-update\-method\fR=\fIINDEX_UPDATE_METHOD\fR

The update method to use with this index. Choose \f5stream\-update\fR or
\f5batch\-update\fR (case insensitive). If not set, batch update will be used by
default. \fIINDEX_UPDATE_METHOD\fR must be one of:

.RS 2m
