Internal DNS address for Google Cloud internal load balancers

According to this documentation page, every VM instance has a DNS entry of the following form:

hostName.c.[PROJECT_ID].internal

This would look something like:

redis.c.myproject.internal

I want to know if there is an equivalent for internal load balancers. Looking at the documentation, there doesn't seem to be anything, but that looks like a pretty big oversight.

So, is there a way to access an internal LB in GCP via a DNS entry?

Solution

  • There is no entry in the GCE DNS metadata server for LBs. There is an open feature request for this at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35904974. You can Star that request to signal your interest and subscribe to updates.
