About this skill
What it does. Guides a six-step process for configuring a Google Cloud global external Application Load Balancer. It discovers backend resources, maps workloads to Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor settings, configures routing and Service Extensions, then produces Terraform HCL or a gcloud deployment script.
When to use it. For global external load balancers using Cloud Storage, MIGs, GKE, Cloud Run or external origins. It does not cover non-Google Cloud, purely regional or internal load balancing unless part of a hybrid or failover design.
