Benjamin Pineau 9e26fb8bdc provider/google: allow session affinity for compute_backend_service
Google's Backend Services gives users control over the session affinity modes.
Let's allow Terraform users to leverage this option.
We don't change the default value ("NONE", as provided by Google).

Creates a Backend Service resource for Google Compute Engine.

# google\_compute\_backend\_service
A Backend Service defines a group of virtual machines that will serve traffic for load balancing.
## Example Usage
```js
resource "google_compute_backend_service" "foobar" {
name = "blablah"
description = "Hello World 1234"
port_name = "http"
protocol = "HTTP"
timeout_sec = 10
enable_cdn = false
backend {
group = "${google_compute_instance_group_manager.foo.instance_group}"
}
health_checks = ["${google_compute_http_health_check.default.self_link}"]
}
resource "google_compute_instance_group_manager" "foo" {
name = "terraform-test"
instance_template = "${google_compute_instance_template.foobar.self_link}"
base_instance_name = "foobar"
zone = "us-central1-f"
target_size = 1
}
resource "google_compute_instance_template" "foobar" {
name = "terraform-test"
machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
network_interface {
network = "default"
}
disk {
source_image = "debian-cloud/debian-8"
auto_delete = true
boot = true
}
}
resource "google_compute_http_health_check" "default" {
name = "test"
request_path = "/"
check_interval_sec = 1
timeout_sec = 1
}
```
## Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
* `name` - (Required) The name of the backend service.
* `health_checks` - (Required) Specifies a list of HTTP health check objects
for checking the health of the backend service.
- - -
* `backend` - (Optional) The list of backends that serve this BackendService.
See *Backend* below.
* `description` - (Optional) The textual description for the backend service.
* `enable_cdn` - (Optional) Whether or not to enable the Cloud CDN on the backend service.
* `port_name` - (Optional) The name of a service that has been added to an
instance group in this backend. See [related docs](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups/#specifying_service_endpoints) for details. Defaults to http.
* `project` - (Optional) The project in which the resource belongs. If it
is not provided, the provider project is used.
* `protocol` - (Optional) The protocol for incoming requests. Defaults to
`HTTP`.
* `region` - (Optional) The Region in which the created address should reside.
If it is not provided, the provider region is used.
* `session_affinity` - (Optional) How to distribute load. Options are "NONE" (no
affinity), "CLIENT\_IP" (hash of the source/dest addresses / ports), and
"GENERATED\_COOKIE" (distribute load using a generated session cookie).
* `timeout_sec` - (Optional) The number of secs to wait for a backend to respond
to a request before considering the request failed. Defaults to `30`.
**Backend** supports the following attributes:
* `group` - (Required) The name or URI of a Compute Engine instance group
(`google_compute_instance_group_manager.xyz.instance_group`) that can
receive traffic.
* `balancing_mode` - (Optional) Defines the strategy for balancing load.
Defaults to `UTILIZATION`
* `capacity_scaler` - (Optional) A float in the range [0, 1.0] that scales the
maximum parameters for the group (e.g., max rate). A value of 0.0 will cause
no requests to be sent to the group (i.e., it adds the group in a drained
state). The default is 1.0.
* `description` - (Optional) Textual description for the backend.
* `max_rate` - (Optional) Maximum requests per second (RPS) that the group can
handle.
* `max_rate_per_instance` - (Optional) The maximum per-instance requests per
second (RPS).
* `max_utilization` - (Optional) The target CPU utilization for the group as a
float in the range [0.0, 1.0]. This flag can only be provided when the
balancing mode is `UTILIZATION`. Defaults to `0.8`.
## Attributes Reference
In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are
exported:
* `fingerprint` - The fingerprint of the backend service.
* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.
