These settings are currently represented as separate resources/datasources in the provider:

• https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/compute_project_metadata
• https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/data-sources/compute_default_service_account

Does this help with your use case?

[arungantasala]

Added a PR. https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/compute_project_metadata stores metadata on a global project resource. Here, we are requesting zonal version of the settings which are used by GCE Instance APIs.
default_service_account setting is not required now at zonal instance settings.

@arungantasala could you elaborate on which API specifically you want to call that is not currently supported?

[melinath]

looks like this is for https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/beta/instanceSettings which is a new resource 👍
