This task assumes that you are already familiar with Google
Cloud-related settings and 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's on the Google
Cloud.
Launch the BlueCat DNS for Google Cloud solution from the
GCP Marketplace.
After completing these steps, your new instance displays in
