<span style="color: #000000">Before you deploy vNIOS for GCP, ensure that you go through the </span>[*<span style="color: #000000">Introduction</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243740)<span style="color: #000000"> topics and complete the </span>*[<span style="color: #000000">Prerequisites</span>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243759)*<span style="color: #000000">. The deployment of vNIOS for GCP includes following steps:</span>

1. [*<span style="color: #000000">Uploading Images to the Project</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243781)<span style="color: #000000">: This section has instructions on how to upload the vNIOS tarball file on GCP and create a custom image that you can use to create a vNIOS instance.</span>
2. <span style="color: #000000">Deploying the vNIOS instance: Based on the deployment you intend to use, see the following sections for instructions:</span>
  - [*<span style="color: #000000">Deploying a Two Network Interfaces Instance of vNIOS for GCP</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243785)<span style="color: #000000">: This section has instructions on how to deploy a vNIOS instance that is configured with two network interfaces.</span>
  - [*<span style="color: #000000">Deploying a Single Network Interface Instance of vNIOS for GCP</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243770)<span style="color: #000000">: This section has instructions on how to deploy a vNIOS instance that is configured with a single network interface in VPC or shared VPC environments on GCP.</span>
