Description

In order to use trace ingestion on a GCP project one needs to fall back to gcloud commands, e.g.

gcloud alpha trace sinks create spans bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/${data.google_project.project.number}/datasets/traces --project ${var.project}
gcloud alpha trace sinks describe spans --project=${var.project} --format='value(writer_identity)' | xargs -I {} gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${var.project} --member serviceAccount:{} --role roles/bigquery.dataEditor --condition=None

Adding some more info as I'm adding this ticket to a list of issues for people onboarding to the Google provider:

Managing this resource uses the https://cloudtrace.googleapis.com API (see docs), so adding support for this new resource is probably going to start with adding a cloudtrace folder in the mmv1/products folder. This section of the contribution guide explains what the folders in mmv1/products contains and the YAML files that need to be created when adding a new product to the Google provider.

Any updates on this? We are using trace sinks and would find this very useful.
