CME STP FIX on Google Cloud - Production Internet Connectivity - Now Available
On Sunday, May 11 (trade date Monday, May 12), CME Group enabled the Production internet connectivity options for CME STP FIX API as part of a phased migration of CME Straight Through Processing APIs to Google Cloud.
CME STP FIX service will operate in two regions, the Eastern and Central United States.
Clients have two different options for internet connectivity to CME STP FIX on Google Cloud.
| CME STP FIX on Google Cloud - Production Internet Connectivity | ||
|---|---|---|
| Connectivity Option | CME STP FIX Hostname(s) | Usage |
| Managed | stpfix.api.cmegroup.com *[208.112.128.43] |
Clients only need to connect to a single Host for all STP data that they are entitled to. CME Group will manage regional connectivity. |
| Regional | stpfix-a.api.cmegroup.com *[208.112.128.46] stpfix-b.api.cmegroup.com *[208.112.128.45] |
Clients can connect to both regions in parallel, providing flexibility and redundancy. Clients can subscribe to the same or different STP trade data across regions based on their entitlements. Sequences of messages are not guaranteed to be the same across regions. |
*Client systems are required to target the Hostname(s). IPs are provided for convenience of client side whitelisting.
CME STP FIX is accessible on port 443. Clients can use their existing API credentials.
CME STP FIX on Google Cloud is available in parallel to the current on-prem instance. Clients should ensure that they do not double-book trades if connecting in parallel to Google Cloud and on-prem instances.
