Represents a collection of network endpoints.
A network endpoint group (NEG) defines how a set of endpoints should be reached, whether they are reachable, and where they are located. For more information about using NEGs for different use cases, see Network endpoint groups overview.
Note: Use the following APIs to manage network endpoint groups:
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

(deprecated)object
This field is only valid when the network endpoint group is used for load balancing. [Deprecated] This field is deprecated.

(deprecated)string
Optional URL of the subnetwork to which all network endpoints in the NEG belong. [Deprecated] This field is deprecated.
loadBalancer
(deprecated).defaultPort
(deprecated)integer
The default port used if the port number is not specified in the network endpoint.
If the network endpoint type is either GCE_VM_IP, SERVERLESS or PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT, this field must not be specified. [Deprecated] This field is deprecated.
regionstring
Output only. The URL of the region where the network endpoint group is located.
zonestring
Output only. The URL of the zone where the network endpoint group is located.
networkstring
The URL of the network to which all network endpoints in the NEG belong. Uses default project network if unspecified.
subnetworkstring
Optional URL of the subnetwork to which all network endpoints in the NEG belong.
defaultPortinteger
The default port used if the port number is not specified in the network endpoint.
Optional. If the network endpoint type is either GCE_VM_IP, SERVERLESS or PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT, this field must not be specified.
annotationsmap (key: string, value: string)
Optional. Metadata defined as annotations on the network endpoint group.
cloudRunobject
networkEndpointType is SERVERLESS. Only one of cloudRun, appEngine or cloudFunction may be set.
cloudRun.servicestring
Cloud Run service is the main resource of Cloud Run.
The service must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
Example value: "run-service".
cloudRun.tagstring
Optional Cloud Run tag represents the "named-revision" to provide additional fine-grained traffic routing information.
The tag must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
Example value: "revision-0010".
cloudRun.urlMaskstring
An URL mask is one of the main components of the Cloud Function.
A template to parse <service> and <tag> fields from a request URL. URL mask allows for routing to multiple Run services without having to create multiple network endpoint groups and backend services.
For example, request URLs foo1.domain.com/bar1 and foo1.domain.com/bar2 can be backed by the same Serverless Network Endpoint Group (NEG) with URL mask <tag>.domain.com/<service>. The URL mask will parse them to { service="bar1", tag="foo1" } and { service="bar2", tag="foo2" } respectively.
appEngineobject
Optional. Only valid when networkEndpointType is SERVERLESS. Only one of cloudRun, appEngine or cloudFunction may be set.
appEngine.servicestring
Optional serving service.
The service name is case-sensitive and must be 1-63 characters long.
Example value: default, my-service.
appEngine.versionstring
Optional serving version.
The version name is case-sensitive and must be 1-100 characters long.
Example value: v1, v2.
appEngine.urlMaskstring
An URL mask is one of the main components of the Cloud Function.
A template to parse service and version fields from a request URL. URL mask allows for routing to multiple App Engine services without having to create multiple Network Endpoint Groups and backend services.
For example, the request URLs foo1-dot-appname.appspot.com/v1 and foo1-dot-appname.appspot.com/v2 can be backed by the same Serverless NEG with URL mask <service>-dot-appname.appspot.com/<version>. The URL mask will parse them to { service = "foo1", version = "v1" } and { service = "foo1", version = "v2" } respectively.
cloudFunctionobject
Optional. Only valid when networkEndpointType is SERVERLESS. Only one of cloudRun, appEngine or cloudFunction may be set.

A user-defined name of the Cloud Function.
The function name is case-sensitive and must be 1-63 characters long.
Example value: func1.
cloudFunction.urlMaskstring
An URL mask is one of the main components of the Cloud Function.
A template to parse function field from a request URL. URL mask allows for routing to multiple Cloud Functions without having to create multiple Network Endpoint Groups and backend services.
For example, request URLs mydomain.com/function1 and mydomain.com/function2 can be backed by the same Serverless NEG with URL mask /<function>. The URL mask will parse them to { function = "function1" } and { function = "function2" } respectively.
serverlessDeploymentobject
Only valid when networkEndpointType is SERVERLESS. Only one of cloudRun, appEngine, cloudFunction or serverlessDeployment may be set.
serverlessDeployment.platformstring
The platform of the backend target(s) of this NEG. The only supported value is API Gateway: apigateway.googleapis.com.

The optional resource version. The version identified by this value is platform-specific and is follows:
serverlessDeployment.urlMaskstring
An URL mask is one of the main components of the Cloud Function.
A template to parse platform-specific fields from a request URL. URL mask allows for routing to multiple resources on the same serverless platform without having to create multiple Network Endpoint Groups and backend resources. The fields parsed by this template are platform-specific and are as follows:
gateway IDservice and versionfunction nameservice and tagpscTargetServicestring
The target service url used to set up private service connection to a Google API or a PSC Producer Service Attachment. An example value is: asia-northeast3-cloudkms.googleapis.com.
Optional. Only valid when networkEndpointType is PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT.
pscDataobject
Optional. Only valid when networkEndpointType is PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT.
pscData.consumerPscAddressstring
Output only. Address allocated from given subnetwork for PSC. This IP address acts as a VIP for a PSC NEG, allowing it to act as an endpoint in L7 PSC-XLB.
pscData.pscConnectionIdstring (uint64 format)
Output only. The PSC connection id of the PSC Network Endpoint Group Consumer.
pscData.pscConnectionStatusenum
Output only. The connection status of the PSC Forwarding Rule.
