Cloud Build enables you to create triggers to build from repositories
hosted on Bitbucket Data Center,
allowing you to execute builds in response to events such as commit pushes or
pull requests associated with your Bitbucket Data Center repository.
This page explains how you can enable trigger functionality on a
Bitbucket Data Center instance if your instance is hosted in a private network.

Enable the Cloud Build, Secret Manager, and Compute Engine APIs.
Build repositories from Bitbucket Data Center in a private network
If your Bitbucket Data Center instance is hosted in a private network and not
reachable over a public internet connection, you must create a private
connection between your VPC network and the
service producer network.
You also need a private pool
to build in a private network.
To create a Bitbucket Data Center trigger to build in a private network:
Create a private connection between the VPC network
and your service producer network by completing the following steps:
To use the VPC network with Cloud Build, your
prefix length must be /23 or lower, such as /22, /21.
You can specify the range using the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
routing notation in the format STARTING_IP/SUBNET_PREFIX_SIZE. For example,
192.0.2.0/24 has a prefix length of 24. The first 24 bits of the IP range
are used as the subnet mask (192.0.2.0) while the possible hosts addresses
range from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255.
Establish a VPC network private connection between your VPC network and Google Cloud. To learn more, see Creating a private connection.
If you have DNS configured for your Bitbucket Data Center instance, you need to manually peer your DNS zone to our service provider. To learn
more, see the Sharing private DNS zones with service producers.
Optional: If you don't want to create a private connection from your Cloud project,
you can set up a Shared VPC and have your Cloud project use that network instead if your project is part of an organization. You will still need the Shared VPC to be peered to the network.
Your Bitbucket Data Center trigger will now automatically invoke builds on
your Bitbucket Data Center instance based on your configuration. To learn how to
run builds using a private pool, see
Running builds in a private pool.

Create a private connection between the VPC network\n and your service producer network by completing the following steps:\n\n 1. [Create a new VPC network](/../vpc/docs/create-modify-vpc-networks#create-custom-network) or [select an existing VPC network](https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/networks/list).\n\n | **Note:** You must configure your VPC network to have access to your Bitbucket Data Center instance in a private network.\n 2.
