  • View and manage your data across Google Cloud Platform services
  • View and manage your Google Compute Engine resources

Input

This building block consumes 24 input parameters

  = Parameter name
  = Format

project STRING Required

Project ID for this request

region STRING Required

Name of the region scoping this request

requestId STRING

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)

IPAddress STRING

The IP address that this forwarding rule is serving on behalf of.

Addresses are restricted based on the forwarding rule's load balancing scheme (EXTERNAL or INTERNAL) and scope (global or regional).

When the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL, for global forwarding rules, the address must be a global IP, and for regional forwarding rules, the address must live in the same region as the forwarding rule. If this field is empty, an ephemeral IPv4 address from the same scope (global or regional) will be assigned. A regional forwarding rule supports IPv4 only. A global forwarding rule supports either IPv4 or IPv6.

When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, this must be a URL reference to an existing Address resource ( internal regional static IP address), with a purpose of GCE_END_POINT and address_type of INTERNAL.

When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, this can only be an RFC 1918 IP address belonging to the network/subnet configured for the forwarding rule. By default, if this field is empty, an ephemeral internal IP address will be automatically allocated from the IP range of the subnet or network configured for this forwarding rule.

An address can be specified either by a literal IP address or a URL reference to an existing Address resource. The following examples are all valid:

  • 100.1.2.3
  • https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/regions/region/addresses/address
  • projects/project/regions/region/addresses/address
  • regions/region/addresses/address
  • global/addresses/address
  • address

IPProtocol ENUMERATION

The IP protocol to which this rule applies. Valid options are TCP, UDP, ESP, AH, SCTP or ICMP.

When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, only TCP and UDP are valid. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, only TCPis valid

allPorts BOOLEAN

This field is used along with the backend_service field for internal load balancing or with the target field for internal TargetInstance. This field cannot be used with port or portRange fields.

When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL and protocol is TCP/UDP, specify this field to allow packets addressed to any ports will be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule

backendService STRING

This field is only used for INTERNAL load balancing.

For internal load balancing, this field identifies the BackendService resource to receive the matched traffic

creationTimestamp STRING

description STRING

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource

id INTEGER

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server

ipVersion ENUMERATION

The IP Version that will be used by this forwarding rule. Valid options are IPV4 or IPV6. This can only be specified for an external global forwarding rule

[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#forwardingRule for Forwarding Rule resources

loadBalancingScheme ENUMERATION

This signifies what the ForwardingRule will be used for and can only take the following values: INTERNAL, INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, EXTERNAL. The value of INTERNAL means that this will be used for Internal Network Load Balancing (TCP, UDP). The value of INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED means that this will be used for Internal Global HTTP(S) LB. The value of EXTERNAL means that this will be used for External Load Balancing (HTTP(S) LB, External TCP/UDP LB, SSL Proxy)

name STRING

Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash

network STRING

This field is not used for external load balancing.

For INTERNAL and INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED load balancing, this field identifies the network that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule. If this field is not specified, the default network will be used

networkTier ENUMERATION

This signifies the networking tier used for configuring this load balancer and can only take the following values: PREMIUM , STANDARD.

For regional ForwardingRule, the valid values are PREMIUM and STANDARD. For GlobalForwardingRule, the valid value is PREMIUM.

If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM. If IPAddress is specified, this value must be equal to the networkTier of the Address

portRange STRING

This field is used along with the target field for TargetHttpProxy, TargetHttpsProxy, TargetSslProxy, TargetTcpProxy, TargetVpnGateway, TargetPool, TargetInstance.

Applicable only when IPProtocol is TCP, UDP, or SCTP, only packets addressed to ports in the specified range will be forwarded to target. Forwarding rules with the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair must have disjoint port ranges.

Some types of forwarding target have constraints on the acceptable ports:

  • TargetHttpProxy: 80, 8080
  • TargetHttpsProxy: 443
  • TargetTcpProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222
  • TargetSslProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222
  • TargetVpnGateway: 500, 4500

serviceLabel STRING

An optional prefix to the service name for this Forwarding Rule. If specified, will be the first label of the fully qualified service name.

Specifically, the label must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

This field is only used for internal load balancing

[Output Only] The internal fully qualified service name for this Forwarding Rule.

This field is only used for internal load balancing

subnetwork STRING

This field is only used for INTERNAL load balancing.

For internal load balancing, this field identifies the subnetwork that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule.

If the network specified is in auto subnet mode, this field is optional. However, if the network is in custom subnet mode, a subnetwork must be specified

target STRING

The URL of the target resource to receive the matched traffic. For regional forwarding rules, this target must live in the same region as the forwarding rule. For global forwarding rules, this target must be a global load balancing resource. The forwarded traffic must be of a type appropriate to the target object.
