Cloud Armor
Cloud Armor is a Google Cloud Platform networking service designed to protect infrastructure from distributed denial-of-service attacks and application-layer threats. It functions as a managed web application firewall, offering a comprehensive set of rules to filter malicious traffic before it reaches your backend services. This tool helps maintain availability and security for web applications hosted on the platform by blocking harmful requests at the edge.
Choose this service when you need robust DDoS mitigation and WAF capabilities integrated directly into Google Cloud’s global network. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this solution. Costs operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, starting from $0.7500 per one million requests, which can add up quickly for high-traffic applications without careful monitoring of usage volumes.
