It enables private communication between environments over the public internet, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity. This resource is typically used for hybrid cloud or multi-cloud setups where secure connectivity is required. ``` gcp.compute_vpn_gateway ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | -------------------- | ---- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | ancestors | core | array | | creation_timestamp | core | timestamp | Output only.
