Can you please update the terraform docs for google batch? In [1] it’s really difficult to know what everything in the json configuration is under the base64encode() call. What levers can I pull? How do I run something more complex than hello world? Do I need my CICD to upload scripts to GCS and have the instance download them at runtime and hardcode that path into the batch script?

It seems as though Google Batch does not have a native Terraform resource. The document in [1] seems like a workaround that leverages the Cloud Scheduler Terraform resource, but submit a job using the JSON configuration. The various fields that can be used in the JSON are within [2]. Regarding using GCS there is an example in [3]. I found more samples in [4]
