Cloud Workstations direct access ports for clusters in Preview
Cloud Workstations supports configuring direct access ports
on workstation clusters in
Preview. Direct
access ports let you connect directly to a workstation port using the standard
https://WORKSTATION_NAME.CLUSTER_ID.cloudworkstations.dev:PORT
URL format instead of encoding the port as a prefix in the URL.
To set direct access ports, use the --direct-access-ports flag with the
gcloud beta workstations clusters create
and
gcloud beta workstations clusters update
commands—for example, --direct-access-ports=80,8080.
