<span style="color: #000000">Before you deploy vNIOS for </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000">, ensure that you complete the </span><span style="color: #000000">*[Prerequisites](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcp/pages/35786159)*</span><span style="color: #000000">. The deployment of vNIOS for </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000"> includes the following steps:</span>

1. <span style="color: #000000">*[Uploading Images to the Project](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcp/pages/35483486)*</span><span style="color: #000000">: This section has instructions on how to upload the vNIOS tarball file on </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000"> 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 Google Cloud](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcp/pages/35483438)*</span><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 Google Cloud](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcp/pages/35753564)*</span><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 </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000">.</span>
  - *[Deploying a vNIOS for Google Cloud Instance with HA](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcp/pages/639434755)* in NIOS 9.0.4 or later: This section has instructions on how to deploy vNIOS instances in an HA setup.

<span style="color: #000000">Google Cloud networks are called virtual private clouds (VPCs). For more information, refer to </span><span style="color: #1155cc">*[https://cloud.google.com/vpc/](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/)*</span><span style="color: #000000">. Using Infoblox vNIOS for </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000">, you can control, provision, and manage IP addresses in your </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000"> VPCs. The following architecture diagrams illustrate the vNIOS Grid deployment on </span>Google Cloud<span style="color: #000000">:</span>
