Internal and External #IP Address #public #private #gcp #cloud
For example, an internal IP address is not publicly routed. An external IP address is a publicly routed IP address. You can assign an external IP address to the network interface of a Google Cloud VM. External IP addresses are publicly advertised, meaning they are reachable by any host on the internet.
Generally, your internal IP address is your device’s designation for your internal network, whether this is an ethernet connection or the connection between your device and your router. Your external IP address is assigned to your router by your internet service provider (ISP).
