    "incantation": "When creating a `MULTI_ZONE` Memorystore instance or Redis cluster, specify the zones with `--zone-distribution-config-zones` for the instance command. The current Redis cluster reference documents a different flag, so its matching syntax could not be verified there.",
    "examples": [
      "gcloud memorystore instances create <INSTANCE> --zone-distribution-config-zones=<ZONE>,<ZONE>",
      "gcloud redis clusters create <CLUSTER> --region=<REGION> --zone-distribution-config-zones=<ZONE>,<ZONE>"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "--zone-distribution-config-zones: Zone list for multi-zone instance resource allocation; not applicable to single-zone instances.",
      "--zone-distribution-config-mode: Zone distribution mode; defaults to `MULTI_ZONE`. Documented values: `multi-zone` and `single-zone`.",
      "INSTANCE (required): Memorystore instance ID.",
      "CLUSTER (required): Redis cluster ID.",
      "--region (required): Redis cluster region, unless supplied through a fully qualified cluster identifier or `redis/region` property.",
      "The flag is described for creating a `MULTI_ZONE` cluster.",
      "Docs conflict: The current Redis cluster reference documents `--zones`, not `--zone-distribution-config-zones`; its current mode values are `multi-zone` and `single-zone`. The release note names `--zone-distribution-config-zones` for the change, so the current reference does not verify that Redis flag's exact syntax or parameters."
