Synopsis¶
Represents a TargetInstance resource which defines an endpoint instance that terminates traffic of certain protocols. In particular, they are used in Protocol Forwarding, where forwarding rules can send packets to a non-NAT’ed target instance. Each target instance contains a single virtual machine instance that receives and handles traffic from the corresponding forwarding rules.
