gcloud compute backend-services list-usable retrieves the list of
backend service resources in the specified project for which you have
compute.backendService.get and compute.backendService.use permissions. This
command is useful when you're creating load balancers in a Shared VPC
environment and you want to use cross-project
service referencing. You can use this command to find out which backend
services in other projects are available to you for referencing.

gcloud compute backend-services list-usable --region=REGIONBACKEND_SERVICE_NAME]--global--region=REGIONcompute/region property value for this command invocation.

Paging may be applied before or after --filter and
--limit depending on the service.
--sort-by=[FIELD,…]--flatten, --sort-by, --filter,
