ComputeInstance networkInterface/accessConfig address assignment from shared ephemeral IP address pool

[bshimc]

v1/instances supports a network provisioning mode for networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].natIP that assigns an IP from a shared address pool:

An external IP address associated with this instance. Specify an unused static external IP address available to the project or leave this field undefined to use an IP from a shared ephemeral IP address pool. If you specify a static external IP address, it must live in the same region as the zone of the instance.

As far as I can tell that's not available with the current ComputeInstance resource. #314 is tangentially related as I believe the only option for managed instance groups with ONE_TO_ONE_NAT is via automatic assignment.

Hi @bshimc , thank you for your reporting the issue! We'll look into how to support this unspecified natIp scenario on top of the current natIpRef field. Will keep you updated.
