Google Cloud

Google Cloud Platform announces its routes under Autonomous System 396982, a network operated by Google LLC and dedicated to GCP rather than to Google's consumer services. It carries traffic for Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and other managed services, interconnecting GCP regions through Google's private fiber backbone. Separating cloud workloads into their own autonomous system enables Google to engineer routing and capacity for enterprise customers independently of Search or YouTube. Registered in the United States, AS396982 is a common origin for outbound traffic from applications hosted on Google Cloud. For IP lookups, an address in this range almost always identifies a cloud-hosted service or virtual machine rather than a residential connection.
