How to setup a STATIC IP ADDRESS while using Google App Engine

Question

I have an application running on Google Cloud's App Engine(flexible environment).

An external API that deals with finances requires us to have a static external IP address so that we may interact. I know App Engine doesn't have an external IP address feature.

I'm also aware that using Google Cloud's Compute Engine, a VM instance with a static IP can be set up.

Is there anyone that has run into this situation and figured out an efficient solution?

Use a compute engine with static ip to act as a proxy for your app engine. Will that work for you ? — vishnu narayanan, Jan 29 '19 at 03:37

As the FAQ for Google App Engine says, App engine does not support static IP.

The only workaround is to use a VM with an static ip to be as a proxy. There is a discussion here.
