Description

The Google AppEngine Standard resource is missing the options to specify automatic, basic or manual scaling and always uses automatic scaling.

The AppEngine Flex resource does have support for Automatic and Manual scaling (but no Basic as AppEngine Flex only allows Auto and Manual scaling), so hopefully this is mainly some copy/paste work from the AppEngine Flex resource to the AppEngine Standard resource.

With only automatic scaling for AppEngine Standard, we cannot create a Basic scaled appengine which is needed when handling serious Google Cloud Tasks. With Automatic scaling a task can only take 10 minutes, while a Basic scaled appengine is allowed upto 24 hrs execution time: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/nodejs/how-instances-are-managed

This makes Basic scaled AppEngine's suitable for a whole range of solutions where Automatic scaled AppEngine doesn't fit. However, it is a shame we cannot deploy Basis scalled AppEngine Standard with TF.

Potential Terraform Configuration

I would assume this is very similar to the config for an AppEngine Flex.
