Create Jupyter notebook using gcloud command

Question

I'm trying to create a Jupyter notebook on AI platform (https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform/notebooks/docs/create-new) using devops pipeline and for that i need gcloud command to create a Jupyter notebook but i couldn't find out on GCP documentation. can some one help here?

The command not yet exists. You can create a datalab VM if you want. If you really want to use the notebook out of datalab environment, I dug into it.

In my browser, I activated the developer mode, I went to network section and I created a notebook instance. I caught this in the post HTTP post

      ]
    }
  ],

    ]
  }
}

I translated this in a gcloud command line. Only the NAT part isn't present, I don't know the impact and how to do this in command line

gcloud beta compute instances create test --zone=us-west1-b --machine-type="n1-standard-4" \
 --boot-disk-type="pd-standard" --boot-disk-size=100 \
 --image="projects/deeplearning-platform-release/global/images/family/tf-1-14-cu100-notebooks" \
 --metadata="proxy-mode=service_account" --tags=deeplearning-vm --boot-disk-auto-delete \
 --maintenance-policy=TERMINATE --scopes="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email" 

I tested the deployment, it works and the VM appears in the notebook section. I hope this help.
