By [Erickson Joseph Santos](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/author/erickson-joseph-santos) | March 15, 2022 We are trying to migrate a GCE DB instance residing in Project-A / VPC-A, to an existing Cloud SQL instance residing in Project-B / VPC-B that has private IP only.    **Best answer by guillaume blaquiere** You can’t!   In fact, when you have a private IP on a Cloud SQL instance, Google creates a peering between the VPC A and the Cloud SQL managed by google world In project B, to access to VPC A, you need to create another peering. And there is a golden roule in VPC peering with GCP: the peering is not transitive. Which mean: if A → B and B → C, a CAN’T reach C because of lack of transitivity ``` https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc-peering#restrictions ```   Use public IP without authorized network and Cloud SQL proxy for that. I know, the security teams hate that, and I’m fighting everyday to teach them!!   You can also use a dirty hack. Instead of peering between VPC A and VPC B, you can create a VPN. It’s more expensive, but it solves your issue ;) --- ## Recent Articles [Data Analytics](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/tag/data-analytics) ## [Generative AI: Are You Behind?!](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/generative-ai-are-you-behind) Review the latest insights from the AI Readiness Report.
