gcloud compute url-maps add-host-rule is used to add a mapping of
hosts to a path matcher in a URL map. The mapping will match the host component
of HTTP requests to path matchers which in turn map the request to a backend
service. Before adding a host rule, at least one path matcher must exist in the
URL map to take care of the path component of the requests. gcloud compute
url-maps add-path-matcher or gcloud compute url-maps
edit can be used to add path matchers.
