VPC Service Controls places a service perimeter—a boundary controlling access to protected services—around Google Cloud projects. This 2021 primer presents it as a way to reduce unauthorized copying or transfer of data while allowing selected interactions across the boundary 00:00–00:54(opens in a new tab).
Key Points Covered
- Rules permit selected crossings: The examples connect on-premises services through Private Google Access and connect multiple perimeters through ingress and egress rules—rules for traffic entering and leaving the boundary 00:00–00:54(opens in a new tab).
- Dry-run and enforce modes serve different rollout roles: Dry run records violations without blocking them, while enforce mode denies disallowed requests; denial and activity logs are presented as feedback 00:54(opens in a new tab).
