.SH "NAME"
.HP
gcloud compute instance\-groups unmanaged create \- create a Compute Engine unmanaged instance group



.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP
\f5gcloud compute instance\-groups unmanaged create\fR \fINAME\fR [\fB\-\-description\fR=\fIDESCRIPTION\fR] [\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR] [\fIGCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG\ ...\fR]



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute instance\-groups unmanaged create\fR creates a new Compute
Engine unmanaged instance group. For example:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute instance\-groups unmanaged create \e
    example\-instance\-group \-\-zone us\-central1\-a
.RE

The above example creates one unmanaged instance group called
\'example\-instance\-group' in the \f5\fIus\-central1\-a\fR\fR zone.



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fINAME\fR

Name of the instance group to create.


.RE
.sp

.SH "FLAGS"

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

Specifies a textual description for the unmanaged instance group.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the instance group to create. If not specified and the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a
zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.
