    • <bucket-name> is the name of the bucket.
    • <project-name> is the name of a project from the projects list.
    • <storage-class> is a valid storage class identifier.
    • <bucket-location> is a valid bucket location identifier.

    In this example, replace <project-name> with accessgateway, <storage-class> with NEARLINE, <bucket-location> with us-east1, and <bucket-name> with oagbucket:

    gsutil mb -p accessgateway -c NEARLINE -l us-east1 gs://oagbucket
