Resources Used for Cisco Cloud Network Controller Deployment in Google Cloud
This section lists the requirements for Cisco Cloud Network Controller deployment in Google Cloud.
Cisco Cloud Network Controller Resources
When you deploy Cisco Cloud Network Controller in Google Cloud, the Cisco Cloud Network Controller will use the following instance profile and will create the necessary resources:
-
One compute instance:
-
Instance type: n2-standard-16
-
CPU: 16 vCPU
-
Memory: 64 GB
-
Disks: OS disk [300GB] , Data Disk – 100GB [empty]
-
-
Data Disk:
-
Empty data disk
-
Size: 100GB
-
Type: Standard SSD
-
-
VPC network: With autoCreateSubnetworks set to False
-
Subnet: Cisco Cloud Network Controller management NIC is attached to this subnet.
-
Google Cloud projects: A minimum of two Google Cloud projects:
-
One for ACI infra
-
One per tenant
-
Note |
You can run only one Cloud Network Controller in the infra account. Running multiple Cloud Network Controllers in the same infra account is not supported. |
Cisco Catalyst 8000V
Deploy the Cisco Catalyst 8000Vs in the appropriate size, depending on the bandwidth requirement defined during the Cisco Cloud Network Controller setup.
The value for the throughput of the routers determines the size of the Cisco Catalyst 8000V instance that you deploy; a higher value for the throughput results in the deployment of a Google Cloud instance type. Cisco Catalyst 8000V licensing is based on the throughput configuration that you set as part of the Cisco Cloud Network Controller setup process. You need the equivalent or higher license in your Smart account and the AX feature set for compliance.
The Cisco Catalyst 8000V supports tier-based (T0/T1/T2/T3) throughput options. The following table lists what Google Cloud instance types are needed for different router throughput settings for the Cisco Catalyst 8000V:
Cisco Catalyst 8000V Throughput |
Google Cloud Instance Type |
---|---|
T0 (up to 15M throughput) |
n1-standard-2 |
T1 (up to 100M throughput) |
n1-standard-4 |
T2 (up to 1G throughput) |
n1-standard-4 |
T3 (up to 10G throughput) |
n1-standard-8 |
Tier2 (T2) is the default throughput supported by Cisco Cloud Network Controller.
