Create a Load Balancer with the pre-created static IP address on Google Cloud


I need my services to be available with the specific IP address, which I created on GCP: external IPs

The problem is that when I configure the frontend of my new Load Balancer I can only choose an Ephemeral IP or randomly generate a new one, which is not appropriate. Pre-created addresses are not available: configuring frontend

How can I bind my IP address with the Load Balancer?


Solution

  • To use a reserved static IP address for a Google HTTP(S) Load Balancer, the IP address must be created with Type as Global. Your IP addresses are Regional.
