Question 98585 in Nginx Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Is it possible to create a load balancer in gcp that works without instance groups in a regional scope? – Nginx

the problem is I have 3 virtual machines with the same source images in three diferent zones in a region. I can’t put them in a MIG because each of them has to attach to a specific persistent disk and according that I researched, I have no control of which VM in the MIG will be attached to which persistent disk (please correct me if I´m wrong). I explored the unmanaged instance group option too, but only has zonal scope. Is there any way to create a load balancer that works with my VMs or I have to create another solution (ex. NGINX)?

    Solution in my case was using a dedicated vm, intalling nginx as a load balancer and creating static ips to each vm in the group. I couldn't implement managed or unmanaged instance groups and managed load balancer.

    That worked fine but another solution found in quicklabs was adding all intances in a "instance pool", maybe in the future I will implement that solution.

    You have two options.

    Create an Unmanaged Instance Group. This allows you to set up your VM instances as you want. You can create multiple instance groups for each region.

    Use a Network Endpoint Group. This supports specifying backends based upon the Compute Engine VM instance’s internal IP address. You can specify other methods such as an Internet address.
