Outbound Static IP for App Engine Flex Environment

[Maha Farhat]

Hi, 

I want to know how we can attach a static IP to the App engine instance using a flexible environment. 

According to the documentation this could be achieved for the standard environment using vpc_access_connector, but have not found anything for the flexible environment.

Regards,

Hello Maha, 

You are right, there is no means offered as yet, to associate a static IP to an App Engine Flexible instance. You may consider setting up a load balancer, and use Cloud Load Balancing and serverless NEGS to reserve a static IP address for your load balancer, as detailed on the "Setting up a global external HTTP(S) load balancer (classic)" page. 

There is an open feature request for this feature. You may consider starring the issue to be notified of further updates.
