gcp.compute.backend_bucket.create

Create a global backend bucket fronting a GCS bucket (static origin) for the L7 load balancer.

Create a global backend bucket fronting a GCS bucket for the L7 load balancer.

The static counterpart of gcp.compute.backend_service.create: it lets an HTTPS load balancer serve an SPA published to a GCS bucket as a url-map target, so static content and a Cloud Run API can sit behind one LB (one origin, path-split). Cloud CDN defaults on.
