title: Is there a way in google cloud to block attempt to access specific urls
body: <p>I have a VM instance that receives a lot of spam/bot traffic attempting to hack the instance such as <code>New Request to /blog/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml</code>. Although none of these are successful it adds strain to the instance.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to block specific endpoint attempts on a google cloud network?</p>
  <p>So far I can only find a way to block specific Ip addresses using the firewall.</p>
  <p>I'm looking for something similar to the answer here: <a href="https://community.cloudflare.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-wp-path-probing/204761" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://community.cloudflare.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-wp-path-probing/204761</a></p>
