+module: gcp_compute_target_instance
+description:
+- Represents a TargetInstance resource which defines an endpoint instance that terminates
+  traffic of certain protocols. In particular, they are used in Protocol Forwarding,
+  where forwarding rules can send packets to a non-NAT'ed target instance. Each target
+  instance contains a single virtual machine instance that receives and handles traffic
+  from the corresponding forwarding rules.

+version_added: '2.10'
