Deploying your app on the google ecosystem — part 3

Assuming the open port for our project is 8001, this port needs to be opened to handle HTTP requests. Head to the GCP console and select VPC network from the console menu, you should be able to see a few default rules already in place but we still need to add our own rule for our port to open.

We’ve now reached the stage where we’ll need to reserve an external IP, as we are both deploying and have API’s mapped to our servers (we wouldn’t want our script to break after a simple restart of instances).

The only thing left to do now is to use the name servers we copied from the registrar setup to point to our domain name.

Under name servers instead of Google domain name servers, select custom name servers and add the name servers copied from the registrar setup.
