Before deploying a Virtual Edge on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you must prepare the GCP environment by completing the following steps: Create a VPC Network Create Inbound Firewall Rules Create Routes in a VPC Network What to read next Create a VPC NetworkYou can choose to create an Automatic mode or Custom mode Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network. Automatic mode networks create one subnet in each Google Cloud region automatically when you create the network. For Custom mode VPC networks, you have to create a network and then create subnets that you want within a region. You can create subnets when you create the network or you can add subnets later, but you cannot create instances in a region that has no subnet defined. Create Inbound Firewall RulesFirewall rules are defined at the network level, and only apply to the network where they are created. To create inbound firewall rules for a VPC network, perform the steps on this procedure. Create Routes in a VPC NetworkDescribes how to add a new default route in a Private Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network pointing to an Edge as illustrated in topology diagram.
