## Examples

### Create a domain on the highest numbered existing service version

Uses the `--version` flag to dynamically determine the highest numbered existing service version, and the `--autoclone` flag if the latest version is currently 'active'

```bash
fastly domain create --name example.com --version latest --autoclone
```
