Google Cloud Connectivity
Connect to Google Cloud on your terms, from anywhere
Extend on-premises and other cloud networks to Google Cloud with highly available, low latency connections through Cloud VPN or Dedicated, Partner, or Cross-Cloud Interconnect.
New customers can use $300 in free credits to spend on Cloud VPN, Dedicated Interconnect, and Partner Interconnect.
Features
High bandwidth, dedicated connectivity
Enable highly available, low-latency, and high throughput dedicated connections from your on-premises to Google Cloud, or between Google Cloud and another cloud provider.
Flexible, low-cost VPN
For low-volume data connections, Cloud VPN offers a lower cost option that delivers 1.5–3.0 Gbps per tunnel over an encrypted public internet connection. Cloud VPN's flexible routing options allow you to use static or dynamic routing to connect to different VPN gateways.
Service-centric connectivity
Enable access from on-premises and public cloud to SaaS, Google Cloud services, or customer-managed services hosted on Google Cloud through Private Service Connect (PSC) over interconnect.
Encrypted dedicated connections
Enable encrypted access to your VPC from your on-premises environment through HA VPN (IPSec) over Cloud Interconnect, or MACsec on Cloud Interconnect.
Traffic differentiation and prioritization
Ensure prioritization of your mission-critical application traffic with an industry first: application awareness on Cloud Interconnect. Watch a short demo
Centralized dynamic routing
Enable centralized management of static and dynamic routing in a hub and spoke architecture - across both multiple VPCs and remote spokes.
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
Cloud Router enables fast forwarding path outage detection on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions and failover traffic to alternate healthy links.
