Deploy Vertica from the Google cloud marketplace

The Vertica entries in the Google Cloud Launcher Marketplace let you quickly deploy a Vertica cluster in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Currently, three entries let you select the database mode and the license you want to use:

• The Enterprise Mode launcher deploys a Vertica database with 3 or more nodes, plus an additional VM running the Management Console (MC). See Deploy an Enterprise Mode database in GCP from the marketplace for more information.

• The Eon Mode BYOL (bring your own license) launcher deploys a single instance running the MC. You use this MC instance to deploy a Vertica database running on Eon Mode. This database has a community license applied to it initially. You can later upgrade it to a license you have obtained from Vertica. See Deploy an MC instance in GCP for Eon Mode for more information.

• The Eon Mode BTH (by the hour) launcher also deploys a single instance running the MC that you use to deploy a database. This database has a by-the-hour license applied to it. Instead of paying for a license up front, you pay an hourly fee that covers both Vertica and running your instances. The BTH license is automatically applied to all clusters you create using a BTH MC instance. See Deploy an MC instance in GCP for Eon Mode for more information. If you choose, you can upgrade this hourly license to a longer-term license you purchase from Vertica. To move a BTH cluster to a BYOL license, follow the instructions in Moving a cloud installation from by the hour (BTH) to bring your own license (BYOL).
