Error Invalid value for field resource loadBalancingScheme EXTERNAL -GCP

Question

I have created a backend service for a https load balancer using:

gcloud beta compute backend-services create service-test \
    --health-checks=hc-test \
    --project=test1 \
    --protocol=http2

I am getting the above error. How do I resolve it?

Answer 1

For the HTTP(S) load balancer, the backend services must be global, so you must issue the gcloud command with the --global option:

gcloud beta compute backend-services create service-test \ --health-checks=hc-test \ --project=test \ --protocol=http2 \ --global
