Can a Google Cloud Internal Load Balancer be called from other network in same region?
The Google Cloud Internal Load Balancer documentation lists the limitation that you need to access it from within the same region. I can't seem to find whether you can access it from within a different network within the same region.
e.g. Suppose the Internal Load Balancer is in a network 'ilb-network' in europe-west1 (10.11.x.x
). Can a VM in the 'clients-network' (10.9.x.x
) access this load balancer (by its 10.11.x.x
IP)?
Solution 1:
You can enable global access to allow client VM instances from any region to access your internal TCP/UDP load balancer.
If the VM is in a different VPC network, in that case you will also need to create a VPC peering between both network on top of enabling global access. This will allow the VM that is in a different region and different vpc network to connect to the internal LB.
