Summary
Google Cloud Platform
cloud hosting compute
Google Cloud Platform (GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM) — the ASN that carries customer workloads on GCP, as opposed to Google's own consumer products.
What it's used for
- Hosting third-party applications, APIs, and services running on Google Cloud (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, load balancers, etc.).
Notable
- Distinct from AS15169 (Google's own Search/YouTube/Gmail network): an IP here means a GCP customer, which could be anyone who deployed on Google Cloud.
- Google publishes its Cloud IP ranges so firewalls can identify GCP egress.
Interesting
- Separating first-party (AS15169) from customer cloud (AS396982) is why a GCP- hosted site's IP looks different from a google.com IP.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
