set up a regional external application load balancer with cloud storage buckets stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences this document shows you how to create a regional external application load balancer to route requests for static content to cloud storage buckets before you begin make sure that your setup meets the following prerequisites install the google cloud cli some of the instructions in this guide can only be carried out using the google cloud cli to install it see install the gcloud cli you can find commands related to load balancing in the api and gcloud cli references document required roles if you are the project creator you are granted the owner role roles owner by default the owner role roles owner or the editor role roles editor includes the permissions necessary to follow this document if you aren t the project creator required permissions must be granted on the project to the appropriate principal for example a principal can be a google account for end users or a service account to get the permissions that you need to to create cloud storage buckets and network resources ask your administrator to grant you the following iam roles on your project create a vpc network and load balancing components compute network admin role roles compute networkadmin create cloud storage buckets storage object admin role roles storage objectadmin for more information about granting roles see manage access to projects folders and organizations you might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles for more information about roles and permissions for cloud load balancing see roles and permissions for more information about defining iam policies with conditional grants for forwarding rules see iam conditions for forwarding rules set up an ssl certificate resource for a regional external application load balancer that uses https as the request and response protocol you can create an ssl certificate resource using either a compute engine ssl certificate or a certificate manager certificate for this example create an ssl certificate resource using certificate manager as described in one of the following documents deploy a regional google managed certificate with dns authorization deploy a regional google managed certificate with certificate authority service deploy a regional self managed certificate after you create the certificate you can attach the certificate to the https target proxy we recommend using a google managed certificate limitations the following limitations apply to cloud storage buckets when serving as backends to a regional external application load balancer private bucket access isn t supported so the backend bucket must be publicly accessible over the internet signed urls aren t supported cloud cdn integration isn t available when creating backend buckets for a regional external application load balancer when using a regional external application load balancer to access backend buckets only the http get method is supported you can download content from the bucket but uploading content to the bucket through the regional external application load balancer isn t available for a regional external application load balancer cloud storage buckets are supported only in the region where the load balancer is configured dual region or multi region buckets aren t supported setup overview the following diagram shows a regional external application load balancer with backend buckets located in the same region as the load balancer the forwarding rule of the regional external application load balancer has an external ip address distributing traffic to cloud storage click to enlarge in the sections that follow you configure the different resources as shown in the preceding diagram configure the network and the proxy only subnet note for this setup you don t need a subnet for the forwarding rule or the cloud storage bucket regional external ipv4 addresses always exist outside of vpc networks for more information see forwarding rules and vpc networks a cloud storage bucket isn t associated with any vpc network this example uses the following vpc network region and proxy only subnet network the network is a custom mode vpc network named lb network subnet for envoy proxies a subnet named proxy only subnet us in the us east1 region uses 10 129 0 0 23 for its primary ip range configure a custom mode vpc network console in the google cloud console go to the vpc networks page go to vpc networks click create vpc network for name enter lb network click create gcloud create a custom vpc network named lb network with the gcloud compute networks create command gcloud compute networks create lb network subnet mode custom configure the proxy only subnet a proxy only subnet provides a set of ip addresses that google cloud uses to run envoy proxies on your behalf the proxies terminate connections from the client and create new connections to the backends this proxy only subnet is used by all envoy based regional load balancers in the same region as the vpc network there can only be one active proxy only subnet for a given purpose per region per network console in the google cloud console go to the vpc networks page go to vpc networks click the name of the vpc network that you created on the subnet tab click add subnet enter the following information name proxy only subnet us region us east1 purpose regional managed proxy ip address range 10 129 0 0 23 click add gcloud create a proxy only subnet in the us east1 region with the gcloud compute networks subnets create command gcloud compute networks subnets create proxy only subnet us purpose regional_managed_proxy role active region us east1 network lb network range 10 129 0 0 23 configure your cloud storage buckets the process for configuring your cloud storage buckets is as follows create the buckets copy content to the buckets create cloud storage buckets in this example you create two cloud storage buckets in the us east1 region console in the google cloud console go to the cloud storage buckets page go to buckets click add_box create in the get started section enter a globally unique name that follows the naming guidelines click choose where to store your data set location type to region from the list of regions select us east1 click create click buckets to return to the cloud storage buckets page use these instructions to create a second bucket in the us east1 region gcloud create the first bucket in the us east1 region with the gcloud storage buckets create command gcloud storage buckets create gs bucket1_name default storage class standard location us east1 uniform bucket level access create the second bucket also in the us east1 region with the gcloud storage buckets create command gcloud storage buckets create gs bucket2_name default storage class standard location us east1 uniform bucket level access replace the variables bucket1_name and bucket2_name with your cloud storage bucket names copy graphic files to your cloud storage buckets to enable you to test the setup copy a graphic file from a public cloud storage bucket to your own cloud storage buckets run the following commands in cloud shell replacing the bucket name variables with your unique cloud storage bucket names gcloud storage cp gs gcp external http lb with bucket three cats jpg gs bucket1_name love to purr gcloud storage cp gs gcp external http lb with bucket two dogs jpg gs bucket2_name love to fetch make your cloud storage buckets publicly readable to make all objects in a bucket readable to everyone on the public internet grant the principal allusers the storage object viewer role roles storage objectviewer console to grant all users access to view objects in your buckets repeat the following procedure for each bucket in the google cloud console go to the cloud storage buckets page go to buckets in the list of buckets click the name of the bucket that you want to make public select the permissions tab in the permissions section click the person_add grant access button the grant access dialog appears in the new principals field enter allusers in the select a role field enter storage object viewer in the filter box and select the storage object viewer from the filtered results click save click allow public access gcloud to grant all users access to view objects in your buckets run the buckets add iam policy binding command gcloud storage buckets add iam policy binding gs bucket1_name member allusers role roles storage objectviewer gcloud storage buckets add iam policy binding gs bucket2_name member allusers role roles storage objectviewer reserve the load balancer s ip address reserve a static external ip address for the forwarding rule of the load balancer console in the google cloud console go to the reserve a static address page go to reserve a static address choose a name for the new address for ip version select ipv4 for type select regional for region select us east1 leave the attached to option set to none after you create the load balancer this ip address is attached to the load balancer s forwarding rule click reserve to reserve the ip address gcloud to reserve a static external ip address use the gcloud compute addresses create command gcloud compute addresses create address_name region us east1 replace the following address_name the name you want to call this address use the gcloud compute addresses describe command to view the result gcloud compute addresses describe address_name the ip address returned is referred to as reserved_ip_address in the following section configure the load balancer with backend buckets this section shows you how to create the following resources for a regional external application load balancer two backend buckets the backend buckets serve as a wrapper to the cloud storage buckets that you created earlier url map target proxy a forwarding rule with a regional ip addresses the forwarding rule has an external ip address in this example you can use http or https as the request and response protocol between the client and the load balancer to create an https load balancer you must add an ssl certificate resource to the load balancer s frontend note you can only use the gcloud cli to configure a regional external application load balancer with backend buckets to create the aforementioned load balancing components using the gcloud cli follow these steps create two backend buckets in the us east1 region with the gcloud compute backend buckets create command the backend buckets have a load balancing scheme of external_managed gcloud compute backend buckets create backend bucket cats gcs bucket name bucket1_name load balancing scheme external_managed region us east1 gcloud compute backend buckets create backend bucket dogs gcs bucket name bucket2_name load balancing scheme external_managed region us east1 replace the variables bucket1_name and bucket2_name with your cloud storage bucket names note when creating a backend bucket for a regional external application load balancer you cannot enable cloud cdn create a url map to route incoming requests to the backend bucket with the gcloud compute url maps create command gcloud compute url maps create url_map_name default backend bucket backend bucket cats region us east1 replace the variable url_map_name with the name of the url map configure the host and path rules of the url map with the gcloud compute url maps add path matcher command in this example the default backend bucket is backend bucket cats which handles all the paths that exist within it however any request targeting http forwarding_rule_ip_address love to fetch two dogs jpg uses the backend bucket dogs backend for example if the love to fetch folder also exists within your default backend backend bucket cats the load balancer prioritizes the backend bucket dogs backend because there is a specific path rule for love to fetch gcloud compute url maps add path matcher url_map_name path matcher name path matcher pets new hosts backend bucket path rules love to fetch backend bucket dogs default backend bucket backend bucket cats replace the variable url_map_name with the name of the url map create a target proxy with the gcloud compute target http proxies create command for http traffic create a target http proxy to route requests to the url map gcloud compute target http proxies create http proxy url map url_map_name region us east1 replace the variable url_map_name with the name of the url map for https traffic create a target https proxy to route requests to the url map the proxy is the part of the load balancer that holds the ssl certificate for an https load balancer after you create the certificate you can attach the certificate to the https target proxy to attach a certificate manager certificate run the following command gcloud compute target https proxies create https proxy url map url_map_name certificate manager certificates c...
