URL Fetch Google Compute Engine from App Engine (Standard Env)

Question

I have an application running on app engine standard environment (java) and an elasticsearch running on a compute instance both belonging to the same project. How can I access this instance in a "secure way", for e.g with the internal IP. I already enabled the tcp:9200 port in the firewall rules.

Thanks in advance!

The problem was related with the elasticsearch configuration file. I followed elastic documentation and everything seem to work now. — Agustin Sarasua

If you open your cloud console, and navigate to app-engine's instances page, there you can find an internal IP for each instance.

You can also do this via command line if you have gcloud installed.

gcloud compute instances list

This IP is internal to your project and can be accessed by other compute engine instances in the project.
