Linking Google cloud sql instance django website to google domain

Question

I have created django website on Google cloud and its running on sql instance (https://school-website-272007.el.r.appspot.com). I already have a google domain, and i want to link this to it.

I followed as below:

Created a VM instance on GCP and linked the external ip to my running sql instance.
Created Zone and 'A' / 'CNAME' in the Cloud DNS section.
Added the new DNS settings to Google domain - DNS settings under custom.

(used https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/quickstart and other youtube links to perform)

But still my google domain is not able to link to the website (https://school-website-272007.el.r.appspot.com)

Can anyone help?

I recommend to use App Engine Custom Domains. With custom domains you can add the domain you may want to redirect to your App Engine app instead of using the appspot link.

While configuring the custom domain, it will tell you which DNS records you have to add to your DNS.
