GCP Compute Url Map

A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute URL Map is a routing table used by HTTP(S) load balancers to decide where an incoming request should be sent. It matches the request’s host name and URL path to a set of rules and then forwards the traffic to the appropriate backend service or backend bucket. URL Maps make it possible to implement advanced traffic-management patterns such as domain-based and path-based routing, default fall-back targets, and traffic migration between versions of a service.

gcp-compute-backend-service​

A URL Map points to one or more backend services as its routing targets. Each rule in the map specifies which gcp-compute-backend-service should receive the traffic that matches the rule’s host and path conditions.
