[Part 2] How to configure URL redirection with GCP's global external HTTP(S) load balancer

*Ramen Ichijo (Sannomiya)

Hello!
My name is Hide, the ramen king of Beyond Osaka Office.
This is my 9th post.

Last time, I wrote about how to configure URL redirection using GCP's Google Cloud Load Balancing (GCLB) global external HTTP(S) load balancer (traditional)!

This time, continuing from the previous article, I will write about how to configure URL redirection using GCLB's global external HTTP(S) load balancer.

It's a little more difficult than the traditional method, but let's do our best together.

*If you are interested in traditional URL redirect settings, please take a look at the article below!

summary

What do you think?

Traditional global HTTP(S) load balancers are easy to set up redirects, but global HTTP(S) load balancers are coded, which can be confusing.

However, if you can properly set up redirects with a load balancer, you can do it without putting any load on the server, so it is recommended.

If you want to set up redirection with GCP's LB, please use this as a reference!
