- FLAGS
-
-
--no-async - Block other tasks in your terminal until the pool has been created. If not included, pool creation will run asynchronously.
-
--bandwidth-limit=BANDWIDTH_LIMIT - Set how much of your bandwidth to make available to this pool's agents. A bandwidth limit applies to all agents in a pool and can help prevent the pool's transfer workload from disrupting other operations that share your bandwidth. For example, enter '50' to set a bandwidth limit of 50 MB/s. By leaving this flag unspecified, this flag unspecified, this pool's agents will use all bandwidth available to them.
-
--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME - A modifiable name to help you identify this pool. You can include details that might not fit in the pool's unique full resource name.
