Installing in Google Cloud

The Secure Agent installer can create a runtime environment on Google Cloud for you, based on just a few properties that you enter on the configuration page.
Note: You must have a subscription with Google Cloud that includes permissions to deploy resources.
  1. 1In Administrator, select Runtime Environments.
  2. 2On the Runtime Environments page, click Manage Cloud Secure Agents.
  3. 3Select Google Cloud Platform.
  4. 4Click Next.
  5. 5Select the Google account to use.
  6. 6Enter the following properties:
    7. Property
    Description
    Project
    A project defines how Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services interacts with Google services and what resources it uses. Select your Google Cloud project from the drop-down list.
    Note: If you don't have a project, exit the installation wizard and create your project on Google Cloud. You can't create a project from within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
    Secure Agent Name
    Enter a name for your Secure Agent. The name needs to conform to the following rules:
    • - The name can be up to 43 characters long, with a combination of letters, numbers, and hyphens.
    • - The first character must be a lowercase letter.
    • - The last character can't be a hyphen.
    • - All letters must be lowercase.
    By default, the runtime environment uses the same name as the agent.
    Region
    Select the region to deploy the Secure Agent. Choose a region that's appropriate for your organization and your customers.
    Machine Type
    Select the machine type for your virtual machine. If you're not familiar with Google machine types, start with a size with at least 4 cores and 16 GB of memory.
    Virtual Network
    Specify whether to use an existing virtual network based on your Google subscription or create a new virtual network.
    A virtual network uses hardware and software to emulate a physical network.
    Virtual Network Name

    Subnet
    Select the subnet to use or enter a name for a new subnet.

  7. 7Select the I acknowledge this action will incur costs in Google Cloud Platform check box to acknowledge that costs will be incurred on your Google account.
  8. 8Click Create.
    9. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services creates your runtime environment and displays it on the Runtime Environments page.

Troubleshooting connection issues on Google Cloud

The firewall in Google Cloud can block access to your VM. If this occurs, add a firewall rule to allow RDP and SSH access to your VM instances.
When Google Cloud blocks access, the runtime environment fails to start with the following error:
Connection Failed. We are unable to connect to the VM on port 22.
    1In the Google Cloud console, go to the Firewall Rules page.
    2Click Create firewall rule.
    3Create a firewall rule with the following settings:
