I want to set up an active directory in a google cloud instance and connect local computers with it.

I have configured the active directory in an instance, but cannot connect with the domain from local computers.

By ipconfig command in the instance, I am getting ens4, which is showing internal IP of that instance. I think I cannot connect local computers with internal IP. So I entered public IP of that instance in the IPV4 DNS server section in the local as well as tried to add this public IP in the DNS of the instance, but every I am getting a validation error.

Can anybody guide me to set up a stable active directory in google cloud instance and connect local computers with it?

To join your on premise machines to the AD I believe that the best way to proceed is to create a VPN as suggested by Gen. Try to go through the official Documentation regarding Google Cloud VPNs that will show you the most common implementation to create a tunnel.

If correctly configured you will be able to use internal IPs and connect them as if they were instances of Google Compute Engine on the same VPC.

I would suggest also to take a look to this Document:

UPDATE Remember to check firewall rules, you have to make sure that the traffic related to AD is allowed by the rules (if not explicitly allowed but the rules the traffic is dropped, whitelist pattern)
