title: Deploy Google Cloud Bigtable with deployment manager
body: <p>I am trying to deploy a Bigtable instance with the following YAML config file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>resources:
  - name: foo-bigtable-instance
    type: bigtableadmin.v2.instance
    properties:
       name: foo
       displayName: Foo Bigtable Instance
       type: Development
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I invoke <em>gcloud deployment-manager deployments create</em> I get the following error...</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: (gcloud.deployment-manager.deployments.create) Error in Operation [operation-1545154324304-57d4f469f9081-51e37137-270e5638]: errors:
  - code: MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD
    location: /deployments/sam-poc-deployment/resources/foo-bigtable-instance-&gt;$.properties-&gt;$.parent
    message: |-
      Missing required field 'parent' with schema:
      {
        "type" : "string"
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the required 'parent' property?  The error suggests it is an object with a single field named "type".  </p>
  
  <p>But what does the 'parent' represent?  And what are the allowed values for the 'type'?  The 'parent' property is not mentioned in the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/admin/rest/v2/projects.instances" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Documentation</a>.</p>
