which type of load balancer to use SSH VM's using identity proxy method

Hi,

need your support on how to SSH the  Load balancer the VM using identity proxy (IAP) method.
I am able to access the VM using IAP method. I want to use load balancer same to access the VM.

currently i am able to authenticate NLB using ssh authentication (user name and passwd/ keys), but i want to do same way with Identity aware proxy method.

 

could you please help how we can accomplish loadbalANCER method using SSH IAP method

Thanks,
Prasanjit

Hi @urbank ,

If I understood it correctly, you want to use a load balancer with IAP to access your VMs via SSH. I am unable to provide documentation, but, please note that NLBs do not support IAP for SSH.

A workaround you can consider is using the HTTP(S) load balancer with IAP for TCP forwarding. This will allow you to use IAP for authentication while still distributing traffic through a load balancer.

You can also check this community discussion as is somehow related to your concern. 

Let me know if this helps.
