This page explains ingress and egress rules for VPC Service Controls. VPC Service Controls uses ingress and egress rules to allow access to and from the resources and clients protected by service perimeters.

The ingress and egress rule blocks specify the direction of allowed access to and from different identities and resources. Ingress and egress rules can replace and simplify use cases that previously required one or more perimeter bridges.

To learn how to apply ingress and egress policies to your service perimeter, see Configuring ingress and egress policies.

You can configure identity groups and third-party identities and IAM roles (Preview) in ingress and egress rules.

For a list of secure data exchange use cases and samples, see Secure data exchange with ingress and egress rules.

For a list of context-aware access use cases and samples, see Context-aware access with ingress rules.

1. Ingress and egress rules allow you to privately and efficiently exchange data within and across organizations using Google Cloud service APIs.
2. Ingress and egress rules allow you to grant access to Google Cloud resources in a perimeter based on the context of the API request:
   1. Constrain identity types or identities that can be used given a source network, IP address, or device.
   2. Constrain Google Cloud APIs and methods that can be accessed given the source network, IP address, device, and identity type.
3. Minimize exfiltration risk by constraining the exact service, methods, Google Cloud projects, VPC networks, and identities used to execute the data exchange.
4. Grant read-only access to external datasets and images that are not managed by you.
5. Ensure that clients in less privileged segments do not have access to Google Cloud resources in more privileged segments; while allowing access in the other direction.
6. Simplify configurations which have previously required one or more perimeter bridges.

The definitions of ingress and egress are independent of the operation being invoked on the resource. Thus, the definitions refer to the direction of the request and not to the direction of data movement.

• Ingress: Refers to any access by an API client from outside the service perimeter to resources within a service perimeter. Example:

  • A Cloud Storage client outside a service perimeter calling Cloud Storage read, write, or copy operations on a Cloud Storage resource within the perimeter.

• Egress Refers to any access that involves an API client or resources within the service perimeter and resources outside a service perimeter. Examples:

  • A Compute Engine client within a service perimeter calling a Compute Engine create operation where the image resource is outside the perimeter.
  • A Cloud Storage client – within or outside the perimeter – that calls a copy command where one bucket is within the perimeter and the other bucket is outside it.

An ingress or egress rule consists of from and to blocks where:

• from references the attributes of the API client.
• to references the attributes of Google Cloud services and resources.

Multiple ingress and egress rules can be associated with a service perimeter. A Google Cloud service call is allowed or denied based on the following semantics:

• A request from a client outside the perimeter to a Google Cloud resource within the perimeter is allowed if the conditions of the necessary ingress rule are satisfied.
• A request from a client within the perimeter to a Google Cloud resource outside the perimeter is allowed if the conditions of the necessary egress rule are satisfied.
• An API call that involves a Google Cloud resource within the perimeter and a Google Cloud resource outside the perimeter is allowed if there is an ingress rule that the client satisfies (if the client is not within the perimeter), and an egress rule that the external resource satisfies.

• A Cloud Storage client outside the perimeter downloading objects from a Cloud Storage bucket inside the perimeter to the local machine (for example using the gcloud storage cp command).
• A BigQuery client outside the perimeter using a BigQuery job in a project inside the perimeter to query a BigQuery dataset inside the perimeter (for example using the bq query command).
• A Compute Engine VM in a VPC network that is outside the perimeter writes to a Cloud Storage bucket inside the perimeter.

• A Cloud Storage client inside the perimeter copying objects between a Cloud Storage bucket outside the perimeter and a bucket inside the perimeter (for example using the gcloud storage cp command).

• A BigQuery client inside the perimeter using a BigQuery job in a project outside the perimeter to query a BigQuery dataset inside the perimeter (for example using the bq query command).

• A Cloud Storage client outside the perimeter copying objects between a Cloud Storage bucket outside the perimeter and a bucket inside the perimeter (for example using the gcloud storage cp command).
• A BigQuery client outside the perimeter using a BigQuery job in a project outside the perimeter to query a BigQuery dataset inside the perimeter (for example using the bq query command).
• A Compute Engine client outside the perimeter creating a Compute Engine disk outside the perimeter using a Cloud KMS key inside the perimeter.

In the BigQuery and Compute Engine examples, an ingress rule is not sufficient, because the BigQuery job or the Compute Engine disk is outside the perimeter. An egress rule is required to allow an API request that involves a Google Cloud resource inside the perimeter (the BigQuery dataset or the Cloud KMS key) and a resource outside the perimeter (the BigQuery job or the Compute Engine disk).

When the accessed resources and/or the API client belong to different service perimeters, the policies of all the involved perimeters must allow the API request. For example, consider a Cloud Storage client and bucket a within a service perimeter A and a bucket b within a service perimeter B. In this example, for the Cloud Storage client to copy objects from the bucket a to bucket b and from the bucket b to bucket a, the following ingress and egress rules are required:

• an egress rule in perimeter A to allow access to the Cloud Storage bucket b ,
• an egress rule in perimeter B to allow access to the Cloud Storage bucket a,
• an ingress rule in perimeter B to allow access for the Cloud Storage client that is outside the perimeter B.

Ingress rules can be configured using the Google Cloud console, a JSON file, or a YAML file. The following sample uses the .yaml format:

- ingressFrom:
    identityType: ANY_IDENTITY | ANY_USER_ACCOUNT | ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
    *OR*
    identities:
    - PRINCIPAL_IDENTIFIER
    sources:
    - resource: RESOURCE
      *OR*
    - accessLevel: ACCESS_LEVEL
  ingressTo:
    operations:
    - serviceName: SERVICE
      methodSelectors:
      - method: METHOD
      *OR*
      - permission: PERMISSION
    *OR*
    roles:
    - ROLE_NAME
    resources:
    - projects/PROJECT
  title: TITLE

• - ingressFrom: - (Required) Starts the from block which lists allowed sources and identities outside the perimeter.

• identityType: - (This attribute or the identities attribute must be used) This attribute defines the types of identities that can be used from the specified sources (network origin). Acceptable values: ANY_IDENTITY, ANY_USER_ACCOUNT, ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT. ANY_IDENTITY allows requests from all identities, including unauthenticated requests. ANY_USER_ACCOUNT allows all human users, and ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT allows all service accounts, but both ANY_USER_ACCOUNT and ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT don't allow unauthenticated requests.

  This attribute doesn't restrict the identities based on organization. For example, ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT allows a service account from any organization.

• identities: - (This attribute or the identityType attribute must be used) This attribute starts a list of service accounts, user accounts, Google groups, or third-party identities that can access resources in the perimeter.

• PRINCIPAL_IDENTIFIER: Specify a user account, a service account, a Google group, or a third-party identity to which you want to provide access to resources in the perimeter. Use the format specified in IAM v1 API Principal identifiers. For example, use the group:GROUP_NAME@googlegroups.com format to specify a Google group.

  VPC Service Controls supports only the v1 identities that start with the user, serviceAccount, group, principal, and principalSet prefixes in the IAM v1 API Principal identifiers.

• sources: - (Required) This attribute refers to a list of network origins. Each value in the list is either an access level or a Google Cloud project. If you set the accessLevel attribute to *, the ingress policy allows access from any network origin. If you set this attribute to a Google Cloud project, the ingress policy allows access from a VPC network that belongs to the project.

  This value might be removed when the associated project is permanently deleted. However, the removal of this value doesn't cause an error. Always check if this value exists while troubleshooting any issues.

• - resource: - (Use this attribute or the accessLevel attribute) Specifies a project or VPC network from outside the perimeter to which you want to provide access. To specify a project, use the following format: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER. To specify a VPC network, use the following format: //compute.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/global/networks/NETWORK_NAME.

• - accessLevel: - (This attribute or the resource attribute must be used) Specifies the access level from outside the perimeter to which access is given. If you set the accessLevel attribute to *, the ingress policy allows access from any network origin.

• ingressTo: - (Required) Starts the to block which lists allowed service operations on specified Google Cloud resources within the perimeter.

• operations: - (This attribute or the roles attribute must be used) Marks the beginning of the list of accessible services and actions/methods that a client satisfying the from block conditions is allowed to access.

• - serviceName: - (Required) This field can be a valid service name or be set to * to allow access to all services. For example, bigquery.googleapis.com is a valid serviceName. For a list of available services, see Supported products.

• methodSelectors: - (Required if serviceName is not *) The beginning of a list of methods that a client satisfying the from block conditions is allowed to access. For a list of restrictable methods and permissions for services, see Supported service method restrictions.

  For a list of service methods that VPC Service Controls can't control, see Service method exceptions.

• - method: - (This attribute or the permission attribute must be used) This field can be a valid service method, or can be set to * to allow access to all methods of the specified service.

• - permission: - (This attribute or the method attribute must be used) This field must be a valid service permission. The access to the resources inside the perimeter are allowed for the operations that require the permission.

  When a request to a resource requires multiple permissions, you must specify all the required permissions under the same operation for the ingress rule to work. For example, if a request to a BigQuery resource requires the bigquery.jobs.create and bigquery.tables.create permissions, you must specify both these permissions under the same operation. Also, if you specify the permissions multiple times for the same resource by using the Google Cloud console, the permissions are not created under the same operation. To avoid this issue, specify all the permissions at once for the resource.

• roles:: (This attribute or the operations attribute must be used) This attribute refers to a list of IAM roles that defines the scope of access for services specified in the rule.

• ROLE_NAME: Specify a single role or a combination of roles that include all the permissions required to access the services. To specify a role, use the role name formats mentioned in Role components, except the following format: projects/PROJECT_ID/roles/IDENTIFIER.

  For information about the supported services and roles, see Supported products.

• resources: - (Required) This attribute specifies the list of Google Cloud resources in the Service Perimeter that the client outside the perimeter can access. This field can be set to * to allow ingress access to any Google Cloud resource inside the perimeter.

• title: - (Optional) This attribute specifies the title of the ingress rule. The title must be unique within the perimeter and can't exceed 100 characters. Within the access policy, the combined length of all rule titles must not exceed 240,000 characters.

To make a functional ingress rule, you must specify the following attributes:

• sources attribute. You must specify an accessLevel or a resource (Google Cloud project or VPC network), or set accessLevel attribute to *.

• identityType or identities attribute
• resources attribute
• serviceName attribute

Once you have finished configuring your ingress policy file, see Updating ingress and egress policies for instructions on applying your ingress policy file to your service perimeter.

If you configure multiple ingress rules in a service perimeter, VPC Service Controls allows a request if it satisfies the conditions of any one of the ingress rules.

Egress rules can be configured using the Google Cloud console, a JSON file, or a YAML file. The following sample uses the .yaml format:

- egressTo:
    operations:
    - serviceName: SERVICE_NAME
      methodSelectors:
      - method: METHOD
      *OR*
      - permission: PERMISSION
    *OR*
    roles:
    - ROLE_NAME
    resources:
    - projects/PROJECT
    *OR*
    externalResources:
    - EXTERNAL_RESOURCE_PATH
  egressFrom:
    identityType: ANY_IDENTITY | ANY_USER_ACCOUNT | ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
    *OR*
    identities:
    - PRINCIPAL_IDENTIFIER
    sources:
    - resource: RESOURCE
      *OR*
    - accessLevel: ACCESS_LEVEL
    sourceRestriction: RESTRICTION_STATUS
  title: TITLE

• - egressTo: - (Required) Starts the to block which lists allowed service operations on Google Cloud resources in specified projects outside the perimeter.

• operations: - (This attribute or the roles attribute must be used) Marks the beginning of the list of accessible services and actions/methods that a client satisfying the from block conditions is allowed to access.

• - serviceName: - (Required) This field can be a valid service name or be set to * to allow access to all services. For a list of available services, see Supported products.

• methodSelectors: - (Required if serviceName is not *) The beginning of a list of methods that a client satisfying the from block conditions is allowed to access. For a list of restrictable methods and permissions for services, see Supported service method restrictions.

  For a list of service methods that VPC Service Controls can't control, see Service method exceptions.

• - method: - (This attribute or the permission attribute must be used.) This field can be a valid service method, or can be set to * to allow access to all methods of the specified service.

• - permission: - (This attribute or the method attribute must be used.) This field must be a valid service permission. The access to the specified resources outside the perimeter are allowed for the operations that require the this permission.

  When a request to a resource requires multiple permissions, you must specify all the required permissions under the same operation for the egress rule to work. For example, if a request to a BigQuery resource requires the bigquery.jobs.create and bigquery.tables.create permissions, you must specify both these permissions under the same operation. Also, if you specify the permissions multiple times for the same resource by using the Google Cloud console, the permissions are not created under the same operation. To avoid this issue, specify all the permissions at once for the resource.

• roles:: (This attribute or the operations attribute must be used) This attribute refers to a list of IAM roles that defines the scope of access for services specified in the rule.

• ROLE_NAME: Specify a single role or a combination of roles that include all the permissions required to access the services. To specify a role, use the role name formats mentioned in Role components, except the following format: projects/PROJECT_ID/roles/IDENTIFIER.

  For information about the supported services and roles, see Supported products.

• resources: - This attribute is a list of Google Cloud resources specified by their projects that clients inside a perimeter can access. You can set this field to * to allow egress access to any Google Cloud resource.

• externalResources: - This attribute is used only to specify BigQuery Omni resources. This attribute is a list of external resources supported by BigQuery Omni that clients inside a perimeter can access. You can specify only Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage resources. For Amazon S3, the supported format is s3://BUCKET_NAME. For Azure Storage, the supported format is azure://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/CONTAINER_NAME.

• egressFrom: - (Required) Starts the from block that lists allowed sources and identities within the perimeter.

• identityType: - (This attribute or the identities attribute must be used.) This attribute defines the types of identities that can be used to access the specified resources outside the perimeter. Acceptable values: ANY_IDENTITY, ANY_USER_ACCOUNT, ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT. ANY_IDENTITY allows requests from all identities, including unauthenticated requests. ANY_USER_ACCOUNT allows all human users, and ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT allows all service accounts, but both ANY_USER_ACCOUNT and ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT don't allow unauthenticated requests.

  This attribute doesn't restrict the identities based on organization. For example, ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT allows a service account from any organization.

• identities: - (This attribute or the identityType attribute must be used.) This attribute starts a list of service accounts, user accounts, Google groups, or third-party identities that can access the specified resources outside the perimeter.

• PRINCIPAL_IDENTIFIER: Specify a user account, a service account, a Google group, or a third-party identity that can access the specified resources outside the perimeter. Use the format specified in IAM v1 API Principal identifiers. For example, use the group:GROUP_NAME@googlegroups.com format to specify a Google group.

  VPC Service Controls supports only the v1 identities that start with the user, serviceAccount, group, principal, and principalSet prefixes in the IAM v1 API Principal identifiers.

• sources: - This attribute specifies a list of network origins. The attribute value can be a list of projects or access levels. To enforce access restrictions based on the specified sources, set the sourceRestriction attribute to SOURCE_RESTRICTION_ENABLED.

  VPC Service Controls evaluates accessLevel and resource attributes of the sources attribute as an OR condition.

• - resource: - (Use this attribute or the accessLevel attribute) Specify one or more Google Cloud resources from the service perimeter that you want to allow to access data outside the perimeter. This attribute supports only projects. To specify a project, use the following format: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER.

  You can't use * in this attribute to allow all Google Cloud resources.

• - accessLevel: - (Use this attribute or the resource attribute) Specify one or more access levels that permit resources inside the perimeter to access resources outside the perimeter. Ensure that these access levels are from the same access policy as the perimeter. If you set the accessLevel attribute to *, the egress policy allows access from any network origin.

• sourceRestriction: - (Required if you use the sources attribute) This attribute lets you enforce access restrictions based on the specified sources. To enforce these access restrictions, set the sourceRestriction attribute to SOURCE_RESTRICTION_ENABLED.

  To disable these access restrictions, set the sourceRestriction attribute to SOURCE_RESTRICTION_DISABLED.

  If you don't set any value for the sourceRestriction attribute, VPC Service Controls ignores the sources attribute and enforces no access restrictions.

• title: - (Optional) This attribute specifies the title of the egress rule. The title must be unique within the perimeter and can't exceed 100 characters. Within the access policy, the combined length of all rule titles must not exceed 240,000 characters.

Once you have finished configuring your egress policy file, see Updating ingress and egress policies for instructions on applying your egress policy file to your service perimeter.

If you configure multiple egress rules in a service perimeter, VPC Service Controls allows a request if it satisfies the conditions of any one of the egress rules.

When you don't want to grant access to all methods of a service, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the precise list of methods to allow. This can occur because a given method for a service can cause a different method to be invoked on a separate Google Cloud service. For example, BigQuery loading a table from a Cloud Storage bucket to run a query.

To determine the correct set of methods to allow, you can use the VPC Service Controls Dry-run mode. Do this by first enabling a perimeter in dry-run mode with no ingress or egress policies, and collect the list of methods invoked from the audit log. Then, progressively add these methods to ingress/egress policies in the dry-run mode until all violations have ceased. At that point, the configuration can be moved from dry-run mode to enforced mode.

The following features are currently unsupported for ingress and egress rules:

1. Identifying Google Cloud resources by labels instead of projects.
2. Not all services support per-method ingress/egress rules. See Supported service method restrictions.
3. ANY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT and ANY_USER_ACCOUNT identity types cannot be used to allow the following operations:
   • All Container Registry operations.
   • All notebooks.googleapis.com service operations.
   • Cloud Storage operations using Signed URLs.
   • With Cloud Run functions, deployment of a Cloud Function from the local machine.
   • Export logs from a Cloud Logging sink to a Cloud Storage resource.
   • All Apache Airflow web user interface operations in Cloud Composer.
