This task assumes that you are already familiar with Google
Cloud-related settings as well as DNS/DHCP Server operations.
Prerequisites for launching virtual appliances on Google Cloud:
- You must have a valid Google Cloud account.
- You must have a valid license from BlueCat.Note: BlueCat DNS for Google Cloud is a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) solution. The Google Marketplace deploys this solution, but you are responsible for purchasing and managing the license directly from BlueCat. A valid client ID and license key are required to successfully deploy a VM using this solution. Contact your BlueCat sales representative with your GCP email ID(s) to obtain your client ID and license key.
Attention: BlueCat strongly recommends connecting to your Google Cloud
using a VPN connection when working in a mixed environment where part of your DNS,
DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) infrastructure is on-site and part of it is on the Google
Cloud.
Launch the BlueCat DNS for Google Cloud solution from the
GCP Marketplace.
After completing these steps, your new instance is added to
the instance list.
