Hi, I'm not able to get the Welcome page for nginx using 35.184.142.84:30254.

Am I missing something when I created the VM in Google Cloud?

Regards,

Hi Ram, 

There is a post in the forum about the same problem you are experiencing, and a few helpful tips on how to go about resolving the external access issue on GCE.

I hope it will help. Good luck!

Thanks Chris! I'm now able to access the Welcome to nginx page using External IP and port 30254.

I had to create a new Ingress allow-all firewall rule from GCP / VPC Network / Firewall Rules.

Ram
