A target TCP proxy is a component of a Proxy Network Load Balancer. The forwarding rule references the target TCP proxy, and the target proxy then references a backend service. For more information, read Proxy Network Load Balancer overview.
[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp
string
[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name
string
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description
string
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
selfLink
string
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
service
string
URL to the BackendService resource.
proxyHeader
enum
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend, either NONE or PROXY_V1. The default is NONE.
proxyBind
boolean
This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this target proxy has a loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
When this field is set to true, Envoy proxies set up inbound traffic interception and bind to the IP address and port specified in the forwarding rule. This is generally useful when using Traffic Director to configure Envoy as a gateway or middle proxy (in other words, not a sidecar proxy). The Envoy proxy listens for inbound requests and handles requests when it receives them.
The default is false.
region
string
[Output Only] URL of the region where the regional TCP proxy resides. This field is not applicable to global TCP proxy.
