This page provides instructions for checking to see if aprivate services accessconnection is set up for your network. Any network on which you provision a
Memorystore for Memcached instance must have a private services access connection.
Otherwise, you cannot select that network when creating a Memorystore for Memcached instance. SeeNetworkingfor more details.
Verify if private services access is already set up for your project by
running the following command, replacing thehighlighted-variableswith the appropriate values:
gcloud services vpc-peerings list --network=network--project=project-id
To select your default network use--network=default.
If a connection is enabled, the command returns the text below with the[bracketed-variables]replaced by your project's variables. If a
connection is not enabled for private services access, the previous
command returns nothing.
