Creates a BackendBucket resource in the specified project using the data included in the request.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute

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: compute1 --scope <scope> backend-buckets insert ...

Required Scalar Argument

• <project> (string)
  • Project ID for this request.

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:

BackendBucket:
  bucket-name: string
  cdn-policy:
    cache-key-policy:
      include-http-headers: [string]
      query-string-whitelist: [string]
    cache-mode: string
    client-ttl: integer
    default-ttl: integer
    max-ttl: integer
    negative-caching: boolean
    request-coalescing: boolean
    serve-while-stale: integer
    signed-url-cache-max-age-sec: string
    signed-url-key-names: [string]
  compression-mode: string
  creation-timestamp: string
  custom-response-headers: [string]
  description: string
  edge-security-policy: string
  enable-cdn: boolean
  id: string
  kind: string
  name: string
  self-link: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r . bucket-name=ea
  • Cloud Storage bucket name.
• cdn-policy.cache-key-policy include-http-headers=sadipscing
  • Allows HTTP request headers (by name) to be used in the cache key.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• query-string-whitelist=lorem

  • Names of query string parameters to include in cache keys. Default parameters are always included. '&' and '=' will be percent encoded and not treated as delimiters.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• .. cache-mode=invidunt

  • Specifies the cache setting for all responses from this backend. The possible values are: USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS Requires the origin to set valid caching headers to cache content. Responses without these headers will not be cached at Google's edge, and will require a full trip to the origin on every request, potentially impacting performance and increasing load on the origin server. FORCE_CACHE_ALL Cache all content, ignoring any "private", "no-store" or "no-cache" directives in Cache-Control response headers. Warning: this may result in Cloud CDN caching private, per-user (user identifiable) content. CACHE_ALL_STATIC Automatically cache static content, including common image formats, media (video and audio), and web assets (JavaScript and CSS). Requests and responses that are marked as uncacheable, as well as dynamic content (including HTML), will not be cached.
• client-ttl=90
  • Specifies a separate client (e.g. browser client) maximum TTL. This is used to clamp the max-age (or Expires) value sent to the client. With FORCE_CACHE_ALL, the lesser of client_ttl and default_ttl is used for the response max-age directive, along with a "public" directive. For cacheable content in CACHE_ALL_STATIC mode, client_ttl clamps the max-age from the origin (if specified), or else sets the response max-age directive to the lesser of the client_ttl and default_ttl, and also ensures a "public" cache-control directive is present. If a client TTL is not specified, a default value (1 hour) will be used. The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year).
• default-ttl=94
  • Specifies the default TTL for cached content served by this origin for responses that do not have an existing valid TTL (max-age or s-max-age). Setting a TTL of "0" means "always revalidate". The value of defaultTTL cannot be set to a value greater than that of maxTTL, but can be equal. When the cacheMode is set to FORCE_CACHE_ALL, the defaultTTL will overwrite the TTL set in all responses. The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year), noting that infrequently accessed objects may be evicted from the cache before the defined TTL.
• max-ttl=74
  • Specifies the maximum allowed TTL for cached content served by this origin. Cache directives that attempt to set a max-age or s-maxage higher than this, or an Expires header more than maxTTL seconds in the future will be capped at the value of maxTTL, as if it were the value of an s-maxage Cache-Control directive. Headers sent to the client will not be modified. Setting a TTL of "0" means "always revalidate". The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year), noting that infrequently accessed objects may be evicted from the cache before the defined TTL.
• negative-caching=true
  • Negative caching allows per-status code TTLs to be set, in order to apply fine-grained caching for common errors or redirects. This can reduce the load on your origin and improve end-user experience by reducing response latency. When the cache mode is set to CACHE_ALL_STATIC or USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS, negative caching applies to responses with the specified response code that lack any Cache-Control, Expires, or Pragma: no-cache directives. When the cache mode is set to FORCE_CACHE_ALL, negative caching applies to all responses with the specified response code, and override any caching headers. By default, Cloud CDN will apply the following default TTLs to these status codes: HTTP 300 (Multiple Choice), 301, 308 (Permanent Redirects): 10m HTTP 404 (Not Found), 410 (Gone), 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons): 120s HTTP 405 (Method Not Found), 421 (Misdirected Request), 501 (Not Implemented): 60s. These defaults can be overridden in negative_caching_policy.
• request-coalescing=false
  • If true then Cloud CDN will combine multiple concurrent cache fill requests into a small number of requests to the origin.
• serve-while-stale=66
  • Serve existing content from the cache (if available) when revalidating content with the origin, or when an error is encountered when refreshing the cache. This setting defines the default "max-stale" duration for any cached responses that do not specify a max-stale directive. Stale responses that exceed the TTL configured here will not be served. The default limit (max-stale) is 86400s (1 day), which will allow stale content to be served up to this limit beyond the max-age (or s-max-age) of a cached response. The maximum allowed value is 604800 (1 week). Set this to zero (0) to disable serve-while-stale.
• signed-url-cache-max-age-sec=tempor
  • Maximum number of seconds the response to a signed URL request will be considered fresh. After this time period, the response will be revalidated before being served. Defaults to 1hr (3600s). When serving responses to signed URL requests, Cloud CDN will internally behave as though all responses from this backend had a "Cache-Control: public, max-age=[TTL]" header, regardless of any existing Cache-Control header. The actual headers served in responses will not be altered.

• signed-url-key-names=aliquyam

  • [Output Only] Names of the keys for signing request URLs.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• .. compression-mode=ipsum

  • Compress text responses using Brotli or gzip compression, based on the client's Accept-Encoding header.
• creation-timestamp=et
  • [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
• custom-response-headers=sanctus
  • Headers that the Application Load Balancer should add to proxied responses.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• description=lorem
  • An optional textual description of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created.
• edge-security-policy=est
  • [Output Only] The resource URL for the edge security policy associated with this backend bucket.
• enable-cdn=true
  • If true, enable Cloud CDN for this BackendBucket.
• id=et
  • [Output Only] Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.
• kind=sed
  • Type of the resource.
• name=no
  • Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
• self-link=et
  • [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

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
  • An optional 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. 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).
