How to mount GCP Filestore on remote client outside the VPC

898 views Asked by At

We are working on an Infrastructure as Code for Hybrid Setup (GCP). As part of that we have to mount cloud network Filestore with on-premises Kubernetes cluster. We are maintaining two VPC networks in GCP for on-premises & cloud environments. We have configured the required Google cloud HA VPN that lets securely connect on-premises VPC network to cloud VPC. We have verified private connectivity over VPN from the instances in a VPC network, to reach instances in second network VPC. But we are unable to mount the Filestore through VPN.

Here is the kubectl describe pod command output.

Furthermore, I have advertised the IP address of the Filestore instance as a custom route during BGP configuration.

Appreciate if you can suggest a solution for this.
