    --region string        REQUIRED: Cloud region for Flink (use "confluent flink region list" to see all).
    --default-pool         Indicate whether the Flink compute pool is a default compute pool or not.
    --environment string   Environment ID.
    --max-cfu int32        Maximum number of Confluent Flink Units (CFU). (default 5)
    --wait                 Wait for the Flink compute pool to reach a ready or failed state before returning.
    --timeout duration     Maximum time to wait for the Flink compute pool to reach a ready or failed state when --wait is set (e.g., '30s', '5m', '2h'). (default 1h0m0s)
    --context string       CLI context name.
-o, --output string        Specify the output format as "human", "json", or "yaml". (default "human")
```

### On-Premises

```none

-v, --verbose count   Increase verbosity (-v for warn, -vv for info, -vvv for debug, -vvvv for trace).
```

## Examples

### Cloud

Create Flink compute pool “my-compute-pool” in AWS with 5 CFUs.
