# Creating multi-region deployments for API Gateway

This tutorial shows you how to configure an HTTP(S) load balancer to enable multi-region deployments for API Gateway. For more details on how this set up work have a look at the article [here](https://cloud.google.com/api-gateway/docs/multi-region-deployment).

The diagram below depicts the architecture that this example sets up.

# Running the example

Clone this repository or [open it in cloud shell](https://ssh.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/editor?cloudshell_git_repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fterraform-google-modules%2Fcloud-foundation-fabric&cloudshell_print=cloud-shell-readme.txt&cloudshell_working_dir=examples%2Fserverless%2Fapi-gateway), then go through the following steps to create resources:

* `terraform init`
* `terraform apply -var project_id=my-project-id`

## Testing the example

1. Copy the IP address returned as output

2. Execute the following command

        curl -v http://<IP_ADDRESS>/hello

Once done testing, you can clean up resources by running `terraform destroy`.
