<span style="color: #000000">You can deploy one or more Infoblox vNIOS for GCP instances in your Google VPC, automatically provision them to join the NIOS Grid, and manage your Google VPC DNS services through the Infoblox NIOS Grid Manager.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Supported deployment methods for Infoblox vNIOS for GCP include the following:</span>

- Run NIOS Grid members or Grid Masters in the GCP public cloud with secure connectivity and synchronization with Infoblox NIOS Grids in on-premises private networks or in a hybrid public cloud/on-premises private cloud configuration.
- Run an entire NIOS Grid in your Google VPC.
- Support large-scale deployments spanning dozens of Google VPCs.
- Use elastic scaling for flexible management of NIOS appliance licensing features across the entire Grid, including Cloud Management Platform (CMP) integration. Elastic Scaling enables automatic deployment of Infoblox vNIOS for GCP instances in your Google VPC.
