-# google\_compute\_project\_metadata\_item
-
-Manages a single key/value pair on metadata common to all instances for
-a project in GCE. Using `google_compute_project_metadata_item` lets you
-manage a single key/value setting in Terraform rather than the entire
-project metadata map.
-
-## Example Usage
-
-```hcl
-resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "default" {
-  key = "my_metadata"
-  value = "my_value"
-}
-```
-
-## Argument Reference
-
-The following arguments are supported:
-
-* `key` - (Required) The metadata key to set.
-
-* `value` - (Required) The value to set for the given metadata key.
