Install a NetScaler VPX instance on Google Cloud VMware Engine
Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) provides you with private clouds that contain vSphere clusters, built from dedicated bare-metal Google Cloud Platform infrastructure. The minimum initial deployment is three hosts, but additional hosts can be added one at a time. All provisioned private clouds have vCenter Server, vSAN, vSphere, and NSX-T.
GCVE enables you to create cloud software-defined data centers (SDDC) on Google Cloud Platform with the desired number of ESX hosts. GCVE supports NetScaler VPX deployments. GCVE provides a user interface same as on-prem vCenter. It functions identical to the ESX-based NetScaler VPX deployments.
The following diagram shows the GCVE on the Google Cloud Platform that an administrator or a client can access over the internet. An administrator can create, manage, and configure workload or server VMs using GCVE. The admin can access the GCVE’s web-based vCenter and NSX-T Manager using an OpenVPN connection. You can create the NetScaler VPX instances (standalone or HA pair) and server VMs within GCVE using vCenter, and manage the corresponding networking using NSX-T manager. The NetScaler VPX instance on GCVE works similar to the On-prem VMware cluster of hosts. GCVE can be managed using OpenVPN connection to the management infrastructure.
Prerequisites
Before you begin installing a virtual appliance, do the following:
- For more information on Google Cloud VMware Engine and its prerequisites, see Google Cloud VMware Engine documentation.
