What's New

The latest release of vNIOS for GCP includes the following new enhancements:

Support for Synchronization of Google Cloud DNS (RFE-12100)

Starting from NIOS 9.0.5, synchronize Google Cloud DNS data to NIOS to obtain a unified visualization experience. The Cloud DNS synchronization feature of NIOS has the ability to automate the process of discovery and synchronization of DNS data to NIOS from multiple projects of a GCP organization. For more information, see Integrating Google Cloud DNS with NIOS.

Support for High Availability Configuration (RFE-12151)

Starting from NIOS 9.0.4, you can deploy instances of vNIOS for GCP appliances in high availability (HA) configurations. For the deployment steps, see Deploying a vNIOS for GCP Instance with HA.

vDiscovery to Support Discovery Across Multiple GCP Projects (RFE-8680)

You can configure a vDiscovery job in a vNIOS instance running on NIOS 9.0.4 or later to discover and synchronize data across multiple GCP projects linked to a host project. For more information, see Performing GCP vDiscovery.

Filtering Options for vDiscovery

Starting from NIOS 8.6.3, you can configure vDiscovery jobs with CIDR-based filters to restrict vDiscovery only in included networks or skip vDiscovery in excluded networks. For more information, see the Configuring vDiscovery Jobs topic in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.

Support for IB-V4015 and IB-V4025 Appliances (RFE-11349)

Starting from NIOS 8.6.2, you can deploy vNIOS for GCP instances on IB-V4015 and IB-4025 appliances also. For more information, see Supported vNIOS for GCP Models.

DHCP Support on vNIOS Instances Deployed on GCP (RFE-9945)

vNIOS for GCP instances running on NIOS 8.6.2 offer DHCP services for on-premises networks.

Single Network Interface Instance of vNIOS for GCP (RFE-9995 and RFE-9807)

NIOS 8.6 introduces an option to deploy vNIOS for GCP as a single network interface instance using VPC and shared VPC networks on GCP. The instance provides core network services such as DNS and IPAM services of a modular Infoblox solution. For more information about the single network interface and about deploying it, see Deploying a Single Network Interface Instance of vNIOS for GCP.
