Create an On-premises YugabyteDB Anywhere provider
Create an On-premises provider in YugabyteDB Anywhere. To utilize the on-premises provider in universes, manage instance types and node instances using the "yba provider onprem instance-type/node [operation]" set of commands
yba provider onprem create [flags]
yba provider onprem create --name <provider-name> \
--region region-name=region1 --region region-name=region2 \
--zone zone-name=zone1::region-name=region1 \
--zone zone-name=zone2::region-name=region2 \
--ssh-user centos \
--ssh-keypair-name <keypair-name> \
--ssh-keypair-file-path <path-to-ssh-key-file>
--ssh-keypair-name string [Optional] Provider key pair name to access YugabyteDB nodes.
--ssh-keypair-file-path string [Optional] Provider key pair file path to access YugabyteDB nodes. One of ssh-keypair-file-path or ssh-keypair-file-contents is required if --ssh-keypair-name is provided.
--ssh-keypair-file-contents string [Optional] Provider key pair file contents to access YugabyteDB nodes. One of ssh-keypair-file-path or ssh-keypair-file-contents is required if --ssh-keypair-name is provided.
--ssh-user string [Optional] SSH User to access YugabyteDB nodes. Required when --skip-provisioning is false.
--ssh-port int [Optional] SSH Port. (default 22)
--region stringArray [Required] Region associated with the On-premises provider. Minimum number of required regions = 1. Provide the following double colon (::) separated fields as key-value pairs: "region-name=<region-name>::latitude=<latitude>::longitude=<longitude>". Region name is a required key-value. Latitude and Longitude (Default values for both are 0.0) are optional. Each region needs to be added using a separate --region flag. Example: --region region-name=us-west-1 --region region-name=us-west-2
--zone stringArray [Required] Zone associated to the On-premises Region defined. Provide the following double colon (::) separated fields as key-value pairs: "zone-name=<zone-name>::region-name=<region-name>". Zone name and Region name are required values. Each --region definition must have atleast one corresponding --zone definition. Multiple --zone definitions can be provided per region. Each zone needs to be added using a separate --zone flag. Example: --zone zone-name=us-west-1a::region-name=us-west-1 --zone zone-name=us-west-1b::region-name=us-west-1
--passwordless-sudo-access [Optional] Can sudo actions be carried out by user without a password. (default true)
--skip-provisioning [Optional] Set to true if YugabyteDB nodes have been prepared manually, set to false to provision during universe creation. (default false)
--airgap-install [Optional] Are YugabyteDB nodes installed in an air-gapped environment, lacking access to the public internet for package downloads. (default false)
--install-node-exporter [Optional] Install Node exporter. (default true)
--node-exporter-user string [Optional] Node Exporter User. (default "prometheus")

-h, --help help for create
-a, --apiToken string YugabyteDB Anywhere api token.
--ca-cert string CA certificate file path for secure connection to YugabyteDB Anywhere. Required when the endpoint is https and --insecure is not set.
--config string Full path to a specific configuration file for YBA CLI. If provided, this takes precedence over the directory specified via --directory, and the generated files are added to the same path. If not provided, the CLI will look for '.yba-cli.yaml' in the directory specified by --directory. Defaults to '$HOME/.yba-cli/.yba-cli.yaml'.
--debug Use debug mode, same as --logLevel debug.
--directory string Directory containing YBA CLI configuration and generated files. If specified, the CLI will look for a configuration file named '.yba-cli.yaml' in this directory. Defaults to '$HOME/.yba-cli/'.
--disable-color Disable colors in output. (default false)
-H, --host string YugabyteDB Anywhere Host (default "http://localhost:9000")
--insecure Allow insecure connections to YugabyteDB Anywhere. Value ignored for http endpoints. Defaults to false for https.
-l, --logLevel string Select the desired log level format. Allowed values: debug, info, warn, error, fatal. (default "info")
-n, --name string [Optional] The name of the provider for the action. Required for create, delete, describe, update, instance-type and node.
