VPC Service Controls lets organizations define a perimeter around
Google Cloud resources to mitigate data exfiltration risks. With
VPC Service Controls, you create perimeters that protect the resources and data
of services that you explicitly specify.
Bundled Cloud Firestore services
The following APIs are bundled together in VPC Service Controls:
firestore.googleapis.com
datastore.googleapis.com
firestorekeyvisualizer.googleapis.com
When you restrict the firestore.googleapis.com service in a perimeter,
the perimeter also restricts the datastore.googleapis.com and
firestorekeyvisualizer.googleapis.com services.
Restrict the datastore.googleapis.com service
The datastore.googleapis.com service is bundled under the
firestore.googleapis.com service. To restrict the
datastore.googleapis.com
service, you must restrict the firestore.googleapis.com service
as follows:
When creating a service perimeter using the Google Cloud console, add
Cloud Firestore as the restricted service.
When creating a service perimeter using the Google Cloud CLI, use
firestore.googleapis.com instead of datastore.googleapis.com.
App Engine legacy bundled services for Datastore
don't support service perimeters. Protecting the Datastore
service with a service perimeter blocks traffic from
App Engine legacy bundled services. Legacy bundled services include:
Cloud Firestore with MongoDB compatibility supports VPC Service Controls but requires additional
configuration to get full egress protection on import and export operations.
You must use the Cloud Firestore service agent to authorize import and
export operations instead of the default App Engine service
account. Use the following instructions to view and configure the authorization
account for import and export operations.
