Hi,

I am trying to connect a MySQL running in AWS with our Confluent Cloud Basic cluster running in GCP using the MySqlCdcSource connector.

The issue is that for security reasons the MySQL is running inside an internal network, so we would like to know the IP of the instance that will connect to their MySQL so we can create an exception and allow the connection.

How can I get this IP? If not how should I connect?

Thanks,  
Alejandro
