As Eric said, you can use google/cloud-sdk image. If your backup job requires multiple commands, you can extend this image with a custom entrypoint script.
On Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) if you cluster's default service account (i.e. Compute Engine default service account) has enough roles in IAM, you won't need additional configuration. But you should probably create a new Cloud IAM Service Account for this backup task, give it the roles it needs (e.g. Datastore etc), then set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the container as described in this tutorial https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/tutorials/authenticating-to-cloud-platform. Hope this helps.
