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.
