GCP Private Access Methods

[needlestack]

Hi Folks,

I was going through many docs on Google site about the private access methods available to connect to multiple API and services inside GCP and I found the following question to be valid based on what I read and found:

1) Do we have a single place that shows the services supported with each access method ? Just one place that says for example to connect to CloudSQL you can use the following options ?

2) The DOCs refer to Google API and Services in many places ? What is the real difference like for SQL we have CloudSQL service and we have CloudSQL admin API. For Storage we have Cloud Storage API and Cloud Storage Service.

Thanks.

Hi @needlestack,

You can check out Connect to Google APIs for options on connecting to services in Google’s production networks, or refer to the individual service documentation (e.g., Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage) for more details on private access options like VPC Peering and Private Google Access.

A service (e.g., Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage) refers to the actual product or resource, while the API (e.g., Cloud SQL Admin API, Cloud Storage API) is the set of endpoints you use to manage or interact with that service programmatically.

Hope this helps.
