Stackdriver has defined resource types for monitoring and for each resource type there are mandatory resource labels. OpenCensus has defined standard resource types and labels. This document describes the translation from OpenCensus resources to Stackdriver resources performed by this exporter.
condition: resource.type == container
k8s_container takes a precedence, so GKE will be mapped to k8s_container and its associated resource labels but it will not contain any gcp_instance specific resource labels.
