pcluster create-cluster [-h]
                 --cluster-configuration CLUSTER_CONFIGURATION
                 --cluster-name CLUSTER_NAME
                [--debug]
                [--dryrun DRYRUN]   
                [--query QUERY]
                [--region REGION]
                [--rollback-on-failure ROLLBACK_ON_FAILURE]
                [--suppress-validators SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS [SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS ...]]                        
                [--validation-failure-level {INFO,WARNING,ERROR}]

Named arguments

-h, --help

Shows the help text for pcluster create-cluster.

--cluster-configuration, -c CLUSTER_CONFIGURATION

Specifies the YAML cluster configuration file.

--cluster-name, -n CLUSTER_NAME

Specifies the name of the cluster to be created.

The name must start with an alphabetical character. The name can have up to 60 characters. If Slurm accounting is enabled, the name can have up to 40 characters.

Valid characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and - (hyphen).

--debug

Enables debug logging.

--dryrun DRYRUN

When true, the command performs validation without creating any resources. You can use this to validate the cluster configuration. (Defaults to false.)

--query QUERY

Specifies the JMESPath query to perform on the output.

--region, -r REGION

Specifies the AWS Region to use. The AWS Region must be specified, using the Region setting in the cluster configuration file, the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable, the region setting in the [default] section of the ~/.aws/config file, or the --region parameter.

--rollback-on-failure ROLLBACK_ON_FAILURE

When true, automatically initiates a cluster stack rollback on failures. (Defaults to true.)

--suppress-validators SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS [SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS ...]

Identifies one or more config validators to suppress.

Format: (ALL|type:[A-Za-z0-9]+)

--validation-failure-level {INFO,WARNING,ERROR}

Specifies the minimum validation level that will cause the creation to fail. (Defaults to ERROR.)
