Calling a private Cloud Function from On-premises

This example shows how to invoke a private Google Cloud Function from the on-prem environment via a Private Service Connect endpoint.

According to the documentation, only requests from VPC networks in the same project or VPC Service Controls perimeter are allowed to call a private Cloud Function. That's the reason why a Private Service Connect endpoint is needed in this architecture.

The Terraform script in this folder will create two projects connected via VPN: one to simulate the on-prem environment and another containing the Cloud Function and the Private Service Connect endpoint.

The "on-prem" project contains a small VM that can be used to test the accessibility to the private Cloud Function:

curl https://YOUR_REGION-YOUR_PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME

Variables

name	description	type	required	default
project_id	Project id.	`string`	✓
ip_ranges	IP ranges used for the VPCs.	`object({...})`		`...`
name	Name used for new resources.	`string`		`cf-via-psc`
project_create	If non null, creates project instead of using an existing one.	`object({...})`		`null`
psc_endpoint	IP used for the Private Service Connect endpoint, it must not overlap with the hub_ip_range.	`string`		`172.16.32.1`
region	Region where the resources will be created.	`string`		`europe-west1`

Outputs

name	description	sensitive
function_url	URL of the Cloud Function.
