Using Console
Using Console
To remediate the issue of a deleted GCP Load Balancer Storage Bucket for GCP DNS using the GCP console, follow these step-by-step instructions:
- Log in to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Console at https://console.cloud.google.com/.
- In the GCP Console, navigate to the “DNS” section by clicking on the menu icon in the top-left corner, then selecting “Networking” and finally “Cloud DNS”.
- In the Cloud DNS dashboard, locate the affected DNS zone and click on its name to open its details.
- In the DNS zone details, you will see a list of DNS records associated with that zone. Identify the record that was pointing to the deleted Load Balancer Storage Bucket.
- Click on the checkbox next to the record to select it.
- At the top of the DNS zone details page, click on the “Edit” button to enter the edit mode.
- In the edit mode, locate the record that was pointing to the deleted Load Balancer Storage Bucket and delete it by clicking on the trash bin icon next to it.
- Once the record is deleted, click on the “Add Record Set” button to add a new record.
-
In the “Add Record Set” form, provide the necessary details to recreate the record:
- Type: Select the appropriate record type (e.g., A, CNAME, etc.) based on your requirements.
- Name: Enter the name of the record (e.g., subdomain.example.com).
- TTL (optional): Set the desired Time-to-Live value for the record.
- Data: Enter the destination IP address or hostname for the record.
- After entering the required details, click on the “Create” button to add the new record.
- Verify that the new record has been successfully added to the DNS zone.
- Repeat steps 8-11 if you have multiple records that need to be recreated.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the misconfiguration of a deleted storage bucket in GCP Load Balancer, you can follow the steps below using GCP CLI:
-
Verify the deleted storage bucket:
- Run the following command to check if the storage bucket is deleted:
- If the bucket is deleted, it will return an error message stating that the bucket does not exist.
- Run the following command to check if the storage bucket is deleted:
-
Restore the deleted storage bucket:

Verify the restored storage bucket:
- Run the following command to check if the storage bucket is successfully restored:
- If the bucket is restored, it will list the contents of the bucket without any error messages.
- Run the following command to check if the storage bucket is successfully restored:
-
Update the Load Balancer configuration:
- Go to the GCP Console and navigate to the Load Balancer configuration.
- Update the backend service or target pool associated with the Load Balancer to use the restored storage bucket.
- Ensure that the backend service or target pool is correctly configured to use the restored bucket for serving traffic.
-
Test the Load Balancer:
- After updating the Load Balancer configuration, perform a test to ensure that the Load Balancer is functioning properly and serving traffic correctly.
- You can use tools like
curlor web browsers to access the Load Balancer’s URL and verify that the restored storage bucket is accessible.
