Google Cloud Hybrid Connectivity – IC, VPN & NCC

Google Cloud Hybrid Connectivity

Google Cloud provides various network connectivity options to meet the needs, using either public networks, peering, or interconnect technologies.

🆕 Updated June 2026: This post covers major updates including Cross-Cloud Interconnect (multicloud connectivity), Cross-Site Interconnect (L2 site-to-site), Network Connectivity Center (hub-spoke orchestration), 400 Gbps Dedicated Interconnect circuits, Classic VPN BGP deprecation, HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect, MACsec encryption, and customizable VPN ciphers.

Google Cloud Hybrid Connectivity Options

Public Network Connectivity

Standard internet connection can be used to connect Google Cloud with the on-premises environment if it meets the bandwidth needs.

Cloud VPN

  • provides secure, private connectivity using IPSec
  • connects on-premises networks to VPC or two VPCs in GCP
  • traffic flows via the VPN tunnel but is still routed over the public internet
  • traffic is encrypted by one gateway and decrypted by the other
  • allows users to access private RFC1918 addresses on resources in the VPC from on-prem computers also using private RFC1918 addresses.
  • can be used with Private Google Access for on-premises hosts
  • provides guaranteed uptime of 99.99% using High Availability (HA) VPN
  • supports only site-to-site VPN
  • supports up to 3Gbps per tunnel with a maximum of 8 tunnels
  • supports static as well as dynamic routing using Cloud Router
  • supports IKEv1 or IKEv2 using a shared secret
  • supports IPv6 traffic exchange with dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) HA VPN gateways
  • supports customizable cipher options allowing you to configure specific ciphers per your security requirements (GA)

Classic VPN vs HA VPN

  • Classic VPN provides a single external IP address and tunnels with 99.9% SLA
  • HA VPN uses redundant interfaces and provides 99.99% SLA
  • HA VPN supports IPv6/dual-stack; Classic VPN does not
  • HA VPN supports dynamic routing (BGP) and is the only VPN option for BGP
⚠️ Classic VPN BGP Deprecation (August 1, 2025): Dynamic routing (BGP) for Classic VPN tunnels is deprecated. You cannot create new Classic VPN tunnels using BGP. Existing BGP tunnels continue to function but without SLA. For workloads requiring BGP, you must migrate to HA VPN. Classic VPN with static routing remains supported.

Peering

  • Peering provides better connectivity to Google Cloud as compared to the public connection. However, the connectivity is still not RFC1918-to-RFC1918 private address connectivity.
  • Peering gets your network as close as possible to Google Cloud public IP addresses.
  • Google does not offer an SLA with Direct Peering or Carrier Peering. For customers requiring SLA, Google recommends Cloud Interconnect.
  • Google recommends using a Verified Peering Provider instead of Direct Peering.

Direct Peering

  • requires you to lease co-lo space and install and support routing equipment in a Google Point Of Presence (PoP).
  • supports BGP over a link to exchange network routes.
  • All traffic destined to Google rides over this new link, while traffic to other sites on the internet rides your regular internet connection.

Carrier Peering

  • preferred if installing equipment isn’t an option or would prefer to work with a service provider partner as an intermediary to peer with Google
  • connection to Google is via a new link connection installed to a partner carrier that is already connected to the Google network itself.
  • supports BGP or uses static routing over that link.
  • All traffic destined to Google rides over this new link.
  • Traffic to other sites on the internet rides your regular internet connection.

Interconnect

  • Interconnects are similar to peering in that the connections get your network as close as possible to the Google network.
  • Interconnects differ from peering as they provide connectivity using private address space into the Google VPC.
  • For RFC1918-to-RFC1918 private address connectivity, either a dedicated or partner interconnect is required.
  • Cloud Interconnect now offers four types: Dedicated Interconnect, Partner Interconnect, Cross-Cloud Interconnect, and Cross-Site Interconnect.
  • Traffic doesn’t traverse the public internet, resulting in fewer hops and points of failure.
  • Supports MACsec for link-layer encryption between your on-premises router and Google’s edge routers.
  • Supports HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect for IPsec encryption of VLAN attachment traffic.

Dedicated Interconnect

  • provides private, high-performance connectivity to Google Cloud
  • requires you to lease co-lo space and install and support routing equipment in a Google Point Of Presence (PoP).
  • supports 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and 400 Gbps circuits with up to 8 circuits per connection (max 3200 Gbps with 400G circuits)
  • gives the RFC1918-to-RFC1918 private address connectivity.
  • All traffic destined to the Google Cloud VPC rides over this new link.
  • Traffic to other sites on the internet rides the regular internet connection.
  • Single Interconnect connection does not offer HA and GCP recommends redundancy using 2 (99.9%) or 4 (99.99%) interconnect connections so that if one connection fails, the other connection can continue to serve traffic
  • supports IPv6 traffic with dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) VLAN attachments
  • supports VLAN attachment MTU of 1440, 1460, 1500, or 8896 bytes (jumbo frames)
  • supports MACsec encryption for securing traffic between on-premises router and Google’s edge routers
  • supports connection groups (Interconnect groups and Attachment groups) for reliability monitoring and SLA eligibility tracking
  • supports application awareness for traffic differentiation using DSCP for prioritizing business-critical traffic
  • offers fixed port pricing for predictable monthly billing of outbound data transfers

Partner Interconnect

  • provides private, high-performance connectivity to Google Cloud
  • preferred if bandwidth requirements are below 10 Gbps or installing equipment isn’t an option or would prefer to work with a service provider partner as an intermediary
  • similar to carrier peering in that you connect to a partner service provider that is directly connected to Google.
  • supports BGP or use static routing over that link.
  • requires provisioning a VLAN attachment over the physical link
  • gives the RFC1918-to-RFC1918 private address connectivity.
  • supports VLAN attachment capacities from 50 Mbps to 50 Gbps
  • All traffic destined to your Google VPC rides over this new link.
  • Traffic to other sites on the internet rides your regular internet connection.
  • supports IPv6 traffic with dual-stack VLAN attachments
  • supports HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect for encrypting traffic

Cross-Cloud Interconnect

  • provides dedicated, private connectivity between Google Cloud and another cloud service provider (multicloud connectivity)

Google Cloud Data Transfer Services Overview

Google Cloud Data Transfer Services

Google Cloud Data Transfer services provide various options in terms of network and transfer tools to help transfer data from on-premises to Google Cloud network.

📋 Last Updated: June 2026 — Updated with gcloud storage CLI (gsutil replacement), Storage Transfer Service event-driven transfers, Cross-Cloud Interconnect, Transfer Appliance data export, BigQuery Data Transfer Service new sources, Classic VPN dynamic routing deprecation, and Network Connectivity Center.

Network Services

Cloud VPN

  • Provides network connectivity with Google Cloud between on-premises network and Google Cloud, or from Google Cloud to another cloud provider.
  • Cloud VPN still routes the traffic through the Internet.
  • Cloud VPN is quick to set up (as compared to Interconnect)
  • Each Cloud VPN tunnel can support up to 3 Gbps total for ingress and egress, but available bandwidth depends on the connectivity. Bandwidth can be increased by adding more tunnels.
  • Choose Cloud VPN to encrypt traffic to Google Cloud, or with lower throughput solution, or experimenting with migrating the workloads to Google Cloud
  • HA VPN is the recommended VPN configuration offering a 99.99% SLA when configured with tunnels on both interfaces per Google best practices.
  • Classic VPN provides a 99.9% SLA. Note: Classic VPN dynamic routing (BGP) was deprecated on August 1, 2025. HA VPN must be used for BGP-based VPN connectivity.
  • HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect allows encrypting traffic traversing Dedicated or Partner Interconnect connections for additional security and compliance.
  • Cloud VPN supports customizable cipher options (Public Preview as of June 2025) allowing configuration of ciphers per security requirements.
  • Cloud Interconnect offers a direct connection to Google Cloud through Google or one of the Cloud Interconnect service providers.
  • Cloud Interconnect service prevents data from going on the public internet and can provide a more consistent throughput for large data transfers
  • For enterprise-grade connection to Google Cloud that has higher throughput requirements, choose Dedicated Interconnect (10 Gbps to 100 Gbps) or Partner Interconnect (50 Mbps to 50 Gbps)
  • Cloud Interconnect provides access to all Google Cloud products and services from your on-premises network except Google Workspace.
  • Cloud Interconnect also allows access to supported APIs and services by using Private Google Access from on-premises hosts.
  • Cross-Cloud Interconnect enables dedicated, private connectivity between Google Cloud and another cloud service provider (AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud). This eliminates the need for traffic to traverse the public internet for multicloud architectures.
  • Partner Cross-Cloud Interconnect (available for AWS) provides an on-demand method for cross-cloud transport without manually setting up networking components.
  • Cross-Site Interconnect (GA 2025) is a transparent, on-demand Layer 2 connectivity solution leveraging Google’s global infrastructure for high-bandwidth connectivity between on-premises sites.
  • Direct Peering provides access to the Google network with fewer network hops than with a public internet connection
  • By using Direct Peering, internet traffic is exchanged between the customer network and Google’s Edge Points of Presence (PoPs), which means the data does not use the public internet.
  • Google does not offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Direct Peering.
  • For SLA-backed connectivity, Cloud Interconnect (Dedicated or Partner) is recommended over Direct Peering.

Network Connectivity Center

  • Network Connectivity Center (NCC) is an orchestration framework that simplifies network connectivity using a hub-and-spoke model.
  • Supports three types of spokes: VPC spokes, Producer VPC spokes, and Hybrid spokes (HA VPN tunnels, Cloud Interconnect VLAN attachments, Router appliance VMs).
  • Enables site-to-cloud connectivity (external networks to Google Cloud) and site-to-site connectivity (using Google Cloud as enterprise WAN).
  • Supports up to 250 VPC spokes per hub and provides transitivity between workload VPCs.
  • Useful for managing complex multicloud and hybrid network topologies centrally.

gcloud storage (formerly gsutil)

⚠️ gsutil Deprecation Notice: gsutil is no longer the recommended CLI for Cloud Storage. Google recommends using gcloud storage commands in the Google Cloud CLI instead. gsutil does not support newer Cloud Storage features such as soft delete and managed folders. gcloud storage commands require less manual optimization and provide faster transfer rates.
  • gcloud storage (replacement for gsutil) is the standard tool for small- to medium-sized transfers (less than 1 TB) over a typical enterprise-scale network, from a private data center to Google Cloud.
  • gcloud storage provides all the basic features needed to manage Cloud Storage instances, including copying data to and from the local file system and Cloud Storage.
  • gcloud storage can also move, rename, and remove objects and perform real-time incremental syncs (similar to rsync) to a Cloud Storage bucket.
  • gcloud storage is especially useful in the following scenarios:
    • As-needed transfers or during command-line sessions by your users.
    • Transferring only a few files or very large files, or both.
    • Consuming the output of a program (streaming output to Cloud Storage).
    • Watching a directory with a moderate number of files and syncing any updates with very low latencies.
  • gcloud storage provides the following features:
    • Parallel multi-threaded transfers for increased transfer speeds.
    • Composite transfers for a single large file, breaking them into smaller chunks to increase transfer speed. Chunks are transferred and validated in parallel. Once the chunks arrive at Google, they are combined (composited) to form a single object.
    • Uses faster CRC32C hashing algorithm for data integrity checking (improved over gsutil’s crcmod).
  • Migration: Replace gsutil commands with equivalent gcloud storage commands. For example: gsutil cpgcloud storage cp, gsutil rsyncgcloud storage rsync.
  • Storage Transfer Service is a fully managed, highly scalable service to automate transfers into Cloud Storage from multiple sources.
  • Supported Sources:
    • Amazon S3
    • S3-compatible storage (requires agents)
    • Microsoft Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
    • Cloud Storage (bucket-to-bucket)
    • Publicly accessible HTTP/HTTPS URLs
    • On-premises file systems (POSIX-compliant, requires agents)
    • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS, requires agents)
  • Storage Transfer Service for Cloud-to-Cloud transfers:
    • Supports transfers from S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Cloud Storage without agents.
    • Supports daily copies of any modified objects.
  • Storage Transfer Service for on-premises data:
    • Is designed for large-scale transfers (up to petabytes of data, billions of files).
    • Supports full copies or incremental copies.
    • Can be set up by installing on-premises software (known as agents) onto computers in the data center.
  • Has a simple, managed graphical user interface; even non-technically savvy users (after setup) can use it to move data.
  • Provides robust error-reporting and a record of all files and objects that are moved.
  • Supports executing recurring transfers on a schedule.
  • Event-Driven Transfers (2025-2026):
    • Listens to event notifications to automatically transfer new or updated objects.
    • Supported for AWS S3 (via S3 Event Notifications to Amazon SQS).
    • Supported for Azure Blob Storage and Data Lake Storage Gen2 (via Azure Event Grid to Azure Storage Queues) — available since January 2026.
    • Supported for Cloud Storage (via Pub/Sub notifications).
  • Private Network Transfers (December 2025): Transfer data from AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage to Cloud Storage over a private network connection using Cross-Cloud Interconnect or Partner Interconnect, optimizing costs and compliance.
  • Google-Managed Private Network for S3: Transfer from S3 over a Google-managed private network, eliminating AWS egress fees with a flat per-GiB rate.
  • AWS GovCloud Support (2026): Supports transfers from S3 buckets in us-gov-east-1 and us-gov-west-1 regions.
  • Organization Policy Constraints (February 2026): Custom organization policy constraints to control Storage Transfer Service usage (e.g., restrict sources or destinations).
  • Encrypts data in transit, supports VPC Service Controls, and uses checksums for data integrity.

Transfer Appliance

  • Transfer Appliance is an excellent option for performing large-scale transfers, especially when a fast network connection is unavailable, it’s too costly to acquire more bandwidth, or it’s a one-time transfer.
  • Expected turnaround time for a network appliance to be shipped, loaded with the data, shipped back, and rehydrated on Google Cloud is approximately 50 days.
  • Consider Transfer Appliance if the online transfer timeframe is calculated to be substantially more than this timeframe.
  • Transfer Appliance requires the ability to receive and ship back the Google-owned hardware.
  • Transfer Appliance is available only in certain countries.
  • Data Export (GA in US): Transfer Appliance now supports exporting data from Cloud Storage to the appliance, which is then shipped to you. This enables large-scale data egress from Google Cloud when network transfer is impractical.
  • gcloud CLI Support (Alpha): gcloud alpha transfer appliances commands allow viewing in-progress results, working with draft orders, and cloning existing orders.
  • Data is encrypted during upload, transit, after upload to Cloud Storage, and during download for data export.

BigQuery Data Transfer Service

  • BigQuery Data Transfer Service automates data movement into BigQuery on a scheduled, managed basis.
  • After a data transfer is configured, the BigQuery Data Transfer Service automatically loads data into BigQuery on a regular basis.
  • BigQuery Data Transfer Service can also initiate data backfills to recover from any outages or gaps.
  • BigQuery Data Transfer Service can only sink data to BigQuery and cannot be used to transfer data out of BigQuery.
