gcloud compute ssl-certificates create

NAME
gcloud compute ssl-certificates create - create a Compute Engine SSL certificate
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute ssl-certificates create NAME (--domains=DOMAIN,[DOMAIN,…]     | --certificate=LOCAL_FILE_PATH --private-key=LOCAL_FILE_PATH) [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--global     | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute ssl-certificates create creates SSL certificate resources, which you can use in a target HTTPS or target SSL proxy. An SSL certificate resource consists of a certificate and private key. The private key is encrypted before it is stored. You can create either a managed or a self-managed SslCertificate resource. A managed SslCertificate is provisioned and renewed for you. A self-managed certificate is created by passing the certificate obtained from Certificate Authority through --certificate and --private-key flags.
EXAMPLES
To create a self-managed certificate resource 'my-cert' from a certificate placed under path 'foo/cert' and a private key placed under path 'foo/pk', run: 
gcloud compute ssl-certificates create my-cert --certificate=foo/cert --private-key=foo/pk
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
Name of the SSL certificate to create.
REQUIRED FLAGS
Flags for managed or self-managed certificate. Exactly one of these must be specified:
--domains=DOMAIN,[DOMAIN,…]
List of domains to create a managed certificate for.
Or at least one of these can be specified: Flags for self-managed certificate
--certificate=LOCAL_FILE_PATH
Path to a local certificate file to create a self-managed certificate. The certificate must be in PEM format. The certificate chain must be no greater than 5 certs long. The chain must include at least one intermediate cert. This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
--private-key=LOCAL_FILE_PATH
Path to a local private key file. The private key must be in PEM format and must use RSA or ECDSA encryption. This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the SSL certificate.
At most one of these can be specified:
--global
If set, the SSL certificate is global.
--region=REGION
Region of the SSL certificate to create. 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.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
