  • Run the following command:
    gcloud compute instances list --filter="name=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME"
  • Replace YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME with the actual name of your server.
  • The output will show the IP address in the "networkInterfaces" section.

3. Metadata Server

  • Connect to your server via SSH.
  • Run the following command:
    curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/networkIP
