It works with global external load balancers to distribute traffic across multiple backend instances, ensuring high availability and efficient request handling for gRPC-based applications. ``` gcp.compute_target_grpc_proxy ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | ---------------------- | ---- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | ancestors | core | array | | creation_timestamp | core | timestamp | Output only. [Output Only] Creation timestamp inRFC3339 text format. | | datadog_display_name | core | string | | description | core | string | An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource. | | id | core | string | Output only. [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource type. The server generates this identifier. | | kind | core | string | Output only. [Output Only] Type of the resource. Alwayscompute#targetGrpcProxy for target grpc proxies. | | labels | core | array | | name | core | string | Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. 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. | | organization_id | core | string | | parent | core | string | | project_id | core | string | | project_number | core | string | | region_id | core | string | | resource_name | core | string | | self_link | core | string | Output only. [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource. | | self_link_with_id | core | string | Output only. [Output Only] Server-defined URL with id for the resource. | | tags | core | hstore_csv | | url_map | core | string | URL to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. The protocol field in the BackendService must be set to GRPC. | | validate_for_proxyless | core | bool | If true, indicates that the BackendServices referenced by the urlMap may be accessed by gRPC applications without using a sidecar proxy. This will enable configuration checks on urlMap and its referenced BackendServices to not allow unsupported features. A gRPC application must use "xds:///" scheme in the target URI of the service it is connecting to. If false, indicates that the BackendServices referenced by the urlMap will be accessed by gRPC applications via a sidecar proxy. In this case, a gRPC application must not use "xds:///" scheme in the target URI of the service it is connecting to | | zone_id | core | string |
