NAME
gcloud compute resource-policies create instance-schedule - create a Compute Engine instance schedule resource policy
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute resource-policies create instance-schedule NAME [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--end-date=END_DATE] [--initiation-date=INITIATION_DATE] [--region=REGION] [--timezone=TIMEZONE] [--vm-start-schedule=VM_START_SCHEDULE] [--vm-stop-schedule=VM_STOP_SCHEDULE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
Create a Compute Engine instance schedule resource policy.
EXAMPLES
To create an instance schedule resource policy that has a daily start operation at 8 AM and a daily stop operation at 5 PM for the UTC timezone, run: 
gcloud compute resource-policies create instance-schedule my-resource-policy --description="daily policy" --vm-start-schedule="0 8 * * *" --vm-stop-schedule="0 17 * * *" --timezone="UTC" --region=REGION

Use the initiation date and end date to limit when the policy is active. To create an instance schedule resource policy with initiation and end dates, run: 

gcloud compute resource-policies create instance-schedule my-resource-policy --description="limited daily policy" --vm-start-schedule="0 8 * * *" --vm-stop-schedule="0 17 * * *" --timezone="UTC" --region=REGION --initiation-date="2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" --end-date="2021-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
Name of the resource policy to operate on.
FLAGS
--description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the backend.
--end-date=END_DATE
The expiration time of the schedule policy. The timestamp must be an RFC3339 valid string.
--initiation-date=INITIATION_DATE
The start time of the schedule policy. The timestamp must be an RFC3339 valid string.
--region=REGION
Region of the resource policy to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property: 

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running: 

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run: 

gcloud config unset compute/region
 Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.
--timezone=TIMEZONE
Timezone used in interpreting schedule. The value of this field must be a time zone name from the tz database http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database
--vm-start-schedule=VM_START_SCHEDULE
Schedule for starting the instance, specified using standard CRON format.
--vm-stop-schedule=VM_STOP_SCHEDULE
Schedule for stopping the instance, specified using standard CRON format.
