name required		Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
project	Default: None	The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
proxy_header	Choices: NONE PROXY_V1	Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend, either NONE or PROXY_V1. The default is NONE.
scopes		Array of scopes to be used.
service required		A reference to the BackendService resource.
service_account_email		An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file		The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
ssl_certificates required		A list of SslCertificate resources that are used to authenticate connections between users and the load balancer. Currently, exactly one SSL certificate must be specified.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP

For authentication, you can set service_account_file using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE env variable.
For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.
For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the GCP_AUTH_KIND env variable.
For authentication, you can set scopes using the GCP_SCOPES env variable.
Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.
