Google and third parties (together known as service producers) can offer services that are hosted in a VPC network. Private services access lets you reach the internal IP addresses of these Google and third-party services by using private connections. This is useful if you want your VM instances in your VPC network to use internal IP addresses instead of external IP addresses.
The following Google services support private services access:
- AI Platform Training
- AlloyDB for PostgreSQL
- Apigee
- Backup and DR
- Cloud Build
- Cloud Intrusion Detection System
- Cloud SQL (does not support DNS peering)
- Cloud TPU
- Converge Enterprise Cloud with IBM Power for Google Cloud
- Filestore
- Google Cloud VMware Engine
- Looker (Google Cloud core)
- Memorystore for Memcached
- Memorystore for Redis
- NetApp Cloud Volumes Service
- Vertex AI
