Network Load balancer

In GCP, can an external network load balancer scale services behind SINGLE external IP address?

Short answer, yes – and it’s a feature, because it means that with an Anycast IP address, you can load balance global traffic. That being said, it is possible to send both HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the same load balancer. You can find the details here: https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/tutorials/http-https-over-same-domain. Hope this helps – Joe
