Why Cloud Armor instead of Firewall Rules?

• Google Cloud Armor policy acts on client's traffic to Google Front Ends and provides edge security whereas firewall rules allow or deny traffic to and from your backends.

• To Configure Cloud Armor Security Policies, you must use Security Policies which are basically rules that allow or deny traffic from an IP or an IP range.

Lab Tasks:

1. Creating an HTTP Load Balancer.

2. Creating a Test Instance.

3. Creating a Security Policy.

4. Testing the Output.
