GCP outbound Traffic LB

[Fatih Tozlu]

Hi

I need your advice regarding the outbound traffic from VM to the Internet passing through FW and/or GCP LB.

• do I need a LB? and which type of GCP LB (TCP/UDP, HTTPS)?

I attached a diagram below

Based on your specific use case, this document [1] might help you decide Cloud load balancer would best suit your needs. To know more about features of different types of load balancers (internal/external HTTP(S), TCP/UDP, and SSL/TCP Proxy etc.), have a look at this document [2]. Also, here [3] you’ll find a general overview of Cloud load balancing. 

Hope this helps.
