Creates a WorkerPool.
This method waitsโthe workflow execution is pausedโuntil the operation is
complete, fails, or times out. The default timeout value is 1800 seconds (30
minutes) and can be changed to a maximum value of 31536000 seconds (one year)
for long-running operations using the connector_params field. See the
Connectors reference.
The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might
generate additional billable steps. For more information about retries and
long-running operations, refer to Understand connectors.
The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set the
connector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer to
Invoke a connector call.
Arguments
Parameters
parent
string
Required. The parent resource where this worker pool will be created. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}.
validateOnly
boolean
If set, validate the request and preview the response, but do not actually post it.
workerPoolId
string
Required. Immutable. The ID to use for the WorkerPool, which will become the final component of the resource name. This value should be 1-63 characters, and valid characters are /a-z-/.
