VPC network and subnet

When registering a GCP environment in Cloudera, you must provide an existing VPC network. Cloudera will not create a VPC network for you.

The VPC must fulfill the following requirements:
  • The VPC network must have one or more subnets in a single geographic region. All the subnets used for environment creation must be in the same geographic region.
  • Your VPC must reside in the same region as the buckets used for storage and logs. This allows you to avoid latency and additional data transfer costs.
  • You can use a shared VPC.
  • If you want to use a shared VPC, the VPC from the host project needs to be attached to the newly created project.
  • When creating a VPC and subnets, there is an option to create subnets in custom or automatic mode. Cloudera recommends using the custom mode.
  • If you want to use Public Endpoint Access Gateway, ensure that Private Google Access is disabled on at least one subnet in the VPC.

See Using VPC networks in the Google documentation for instructions on creating and managing VPC networks and subnets in GCP.
