Target Server using a private IP on a GCP VPC

[Former Community Member]

We need a reverse proxy to publish a service currently hosted in a GCP project.

Is there a way to configure the Target Server to be accessible through a private IP on a specific Google GCP VPC ?

No. If I understand the question you're asking, you cannot do that today with Apigee SaaS.

It is not possible for an Apigee gateway to connect to a private IP of a system running inside your own GCP VPC. The reason is that the Apigee gateway does not run in YOUR GCP VPC. It runs in Apigee's VPC, and that thing won't have direct access to private IPs in your VPC.

Soon! You will be able to do that with the next-gen Apigee product (either hybrid or saas). You will have the ability to connect from the Apigee-provided VPC to your own VPC, using standard GCP networking.

Today, what you would need to do is expose the private service via an external IP address. For example, for Google Compute Engine, check this documentation. For other pieces of GCP, check the respective documents .
