- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)An Authority represents a trusted verification identity, containing public keys used to verify attestations for software artifacts. - EXAMPLES
-
To create an empty authority 'my-authority' in location 'us-central1':
gcloud alpha software-delivery-trust authorities create my-authority --location=us-central1 --description="Production GitHub Actions builder"To create an authority with an initial Cloud KMS public key:
gcloud alpha software-delivery-trust authorities create my-authority --location=us-central1 --description="Authority backed by Cloud KMS asymmetric signing key" --kms-key-version="projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/keyRings/my-ring/cryptoKeys/my-key/cryptoKeyVersions/1"To create an authority with an initial local PKIX public key file:
gcloud alpha software-delivery-trust authorities create my-authority --location=us-central1 --description="Authority for CI/CD workload" --key-id="v1" --pkix-public-key-file="./public_key.pem" --signature-algorithm=ec-sign-p256-sha256 - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

-
Authority resource - The authority to create. The arguments in this group can be
used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not
given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the
projectattribute:-
provide the argument
AUTHORITYon the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--projecton the command line; -
set the property
core/project.
This must be specified.
AUTHORITY-
ID of the authority or fully qualified identifier for the authority.
To set the

provide the argument
AUTHORITYon the command line.
This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
-
provide the argument

- FLAGS
-
--description=DESCRIPTION- Human-readable description of the authority.
--endpoint-mode=ENDPOINT_MODE-
Specifies endpoint mode for a given command. Regional endpoints provide enhanced
data residency and reliability by ensuring your request is handled entirely
within the specified Google Cloud region. This differs from global endpoints,
which may process parts of the request outside the target region. Overrides the
default
regional/endpoint_modeproperty value for this command invocation.ENDPOINT_MODEmust be one of:global- (Default) Use global rather than regional endpoints.
regional- Only use regional endpoints. An error will be raised if a regional endpoint is not available for a given command.
regional-preferred- Use regional endpoints when available, otherwise use global endpoints. Recommended for most users.
--key-id=KEY_ID- Optional key slot identifier or signer key hint (max 512 characters). Must be unique within this authority. Defaults to the KMS key version resource name for KMS keys. For pkix-public-key-file, if omitted, will be left unassigned.
-
At most one of these can be specified:
- Cloud KMS public key configuration
--kms-key-version=KMS_KEY_VERSION- The Cloud KMS CryptoKeyVersion resource name. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/keyRings/{key_ring}/cryptoKeys/{key}/cryptoKeyVersions/{version}
- Local PKIX public key configuration
--pkix-public-key-file=PKIX_PUBLIC_KEY_FILE- Path to a local file containing the PEM-encoded PKIX SubjectPublicKeyInfo public key.
--signature-algorithm=SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM-
The signature and digest algorithm used with the local public key.
SIGNATURE_ALGORITHMmust be one of:ec-sign-p256-sha256,ec-sign-p384-sha384,ec-sign-p521-sha512,rsa-sign-pss-2048-sha256,rsa-sign-pss-3072-sha256,rsa-sign-pss-4096-sha256,rsa-sign-pss-4096-sha512,rsa-sign-pkcs1-2048-sha256,rsa-sign-pkcs1-3072-sha256,rsa-sign-pkcs1-4096-sha256,rsa-sign-pkcs1-4096-sha512.
- 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 helpfor details. - REGIONAL ENDPOINTS
-
This command supports regional endpoints. To use regional endpoints for this
command, use the
--endpoint-mode=regional-preferredflag. To use regional endpoints by default, run$ gcloud config set regional/endpoint_mode regional-preferred. - NOTES
- This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist.
