Before deploying vNIOS for GCP, ensure that you have completed the following:
- Set up a GCP account and create a project, if none already exists.
- If you want to join the vNIOS for GCP instance to the on-prem Grid, Configure an on-premise Infoblox Grid or Grid Master. For more information, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
- Install the GCP CLI utility to perform CLI based operations. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/.
- To deploy a single network interface instance in a shared VPC network on GCP, ensure that the VPC of your host project is shared with the service projects.
