Description

Add support for the new Global External HTTP(S) Load Balancer, now in public preview. See https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/https/setup-global-ext-https-compute for more details.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• google_compute_backend_service: load_balancing_scheme = "EXTERNAL_MANAGED"
• google_compute_forwarding_rule: load_balancing_scheme = "EXTERNAL_MANAGED"

Potential Terraform Configuration

The setup should be very similar to the example here, except with the load_balancing_scheme values set to EXTERNAL_MANAGED for the backend service and forwarding rule (and the resources should be global, not a set region, similar to the examples here).
