Creates a new Source in a given project and location.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: vmmigration1 --scope <scope> projects locations-sources-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The Source's parent.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Source:
  aws:
    access-key-creds:
      access-key-id: string
      secret-access-key: string
      session-token: string
    aws-region: string
    error:
      code: integer
      message: string
    inventory-security-group-names: [string]
    migration-resources-user-tags: { string: string }
    public-ip: string
    state: string
  azure:
    azure-location: string
    client-secret-creds:
      client-id: string
      client-secret: string
      tenant-id: string
    error:
      code: integer
      message: string
    migration-resources-user-tags: { string: string }
    resource-group-id: string
    state: string
    subscription-id: string
  create-time: string
  description: string
  encryption:
    kms-key: string
  labels: { string: string }
  name: string
  update-time: string
  vmware:
    password: string
    resolved-vcenter-host: string
    thumbprint: string
    username: string
    vcenter-ip: string

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p request-id=string

    • A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

  • -p source-id=string

    • Required. The source identifier.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.
