Terraform: Feature Request: support regional google instance group managers

[mschroeder223]

The GCP docs and ui allow for the creation of regional (multi-zone) instance group managers.

After looking through the source I believe this actually tracks back to a limitation with the current google compute api library. In the current v1 only InstanceGroupManagersInsertCall exists, which in the beta v0.beta an additional set of calls for RegionInstanceGroupManagersInsertCall has been added.

InstanceGroupManagersInsertCall in v1 (stable)
https://code.googlesource.com/google-api-go-client/+/master/compute/v1/compute-gen.go#21873

RegionInstanceGroupManagersInsertCall in v0.beta
https://code.googlesource.com/google-api-go-client/+/master/compute/v0.beta/compute-gen.go#37848

Are there any current workarounds for this?

The docs actually specify that this functionality is in beta: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups/distributing-instances-with-regional-instance-groups

Once Google promotes this out of beta, then it should get promoted into the v1 stable API and be available to be added as a resource to Terraform.

Hello,

For information, Regional Instance Groups are now in G.A on GCP.

Looks like the feature is GA now

Can we please make this available via terraform?
