To configure a global external Application Load Balancer, this Skill guides you through a structured discovery process and generates production-grade Terraform HCL scripts mapping your workloads to best-practice backend configurations.

Yes, configuring Cloud Armor and Cloud CDN is explicitly supported. The Skill designs your global external Application Load Balancer architecture to incorporate these security and content delivery components alongside Service Extensions.

You can map existing resources by utilizing the Skill's resource discovery feature, which detects Cloud Storage buckets, Compute Engine MIGs, GKE, and Cloud Run services to configure them as load balancer backends.

Yes, you need both gcloud CLI and Terraform installed. These dependencies are required for the Skill to generate infrastructure as code scripts and support actuation and drift detection on deployed load balancers.

The best way to detect drift is using the Skill's actuation and drift detection support, which analyzes your deployed global external Application Load Balancers to identify deviations from the intended infrastructure as code configuration.

A structured discovery process ensures your workload requirements are accurately mapped to best-practice configurations before deployment, reducing misconfigurations when setting up Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor, and Service Extensions.
