# Multi-region deployment for API Gateway

This recipe shows you how to configure an HTTP(S) load balancer to enable multi-region deployments for API Gateway. For more details on how this set up work have a look at the article [here](https://cloud.google.com/api-gateway/docs/multi-region-deployment).

The diagram below depicts the architecture that this blueprint sets up.

Once deployed do the following to see that it works:

1. Copy the IP address returned as output

2. Execute the following command:

    curl -k -v <https://example.com/hello> --resolve example.com:443:<IP_ADDRESS>

## Test

```hcl
module "test" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/api-gateway/recipe-multi-region"
  project_id = "project-1"
  regions = [
    "europe-west1",
    "us-central1"
  ]
  _testing = {
    name   = "project-1"
    number = 1234567890
