Creating an Infrastructure and Plan for GCP

Use the DuploCloud Portal to create an Infrastructure and associated Plan for GCP

A GCP Infrastructure in DuploCloud sets up the networking and environment needed to deploy resources in Google Cloud. You can also choose to include a GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) cluster.

Each GCP Infrastructure can include up to one GKE cluster, using either Autopilot (fully managed by Google) or Standard (manually managed).

When the infrastructure is created, DuploCloud automatically creates a Plan with the same name.

Creating an Infrastructure

1. Navigate to Administrator -> Infrastructure.

2. Click Add. The Add Infrastructure pane displays.

   
3. Complete the following fields to define the infrastructure.

Name	Enter a name for the infrastructure.
Cloud	Select the cloud provider. Google is selected by default.
VPC CIDR	Enter the CIDR block for the VPC (e.g., 10.10.0.0/16).
Region	Select the GCP region to deploy into.
Account	Specify the GCP account to use for this infrastructure.
Subnet CIDR Bits	Enter the number of bits to define the size of each subnet.
Enable GKE	Check this box to include a GKE cluster.

1. If you selected Enable GKE, complete the following fields.

Cluster Mode	Choose GKE Autopilot or GKE Standard.
Release Channel	Specify the GKE release channel to control the frequency and stability of cluster updates (e.g., Rapid channel, Regular channel (recommended), etc.).
GKE Version	Select the Kubernetes version to use.
GKE Endpoint Visibility	Choose whether the Kubernetes API endpoint is public or private.
Cluster IP CIDR	Enter the internal CIDR block for the cluster.
Disable NAT Creation	Check this box to stop DuploCloud from creating a Cloud NAT gateway.

1. Click Create. The Infrastructure is created and is listed on the Infrastructure page. DuploCloud automatically creates a Plan with the same name and configuration as the Infrastructure.

Cloud providers limit the number of Infrastructures that can run in each region. If you have completed the steps to create an Infrastructure and it doesn't show a status of Complete, check logs on GCP Console for any errors or contact DuploCloud Support.
