Google Cloud global external Application Load Balancer Configuration Skill

Purpose & Agent Guidance

This skill enables the agent to guide users through a structured, 6-step discovery process to design and deploy Google Cloud global external Application Load Balancers (incorporating Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor, and Service Extensions).

Assumptions & Target Environments:

This skill assumes it is called from environments (such as Gemini CLI, Antigravity, etc.) where the Google Cloud CLI (gcloud) can be executed.

If gcloud is not available or accessible, the skill cannot perform automated resource discovery or managed deployment actuation. In such environments, the skill will limit its support to guiding the design and generating Terraform HCL configurations.

When executing this skill, the agent must:

Map user workload requirements to simplified, opinionated best-practice configurations using actual Google Cloud product names.

Progressively disclose details, hiding advanced complexity unless the user explicitly asks for customization.

Leverage the reference documents in the references/ directory to perform resource discovery, code generation, actuation, and drift detection.
