Information to know before subscribing to IP4G

Before you subscribe to the IBM Power for Google Cloud service, review the following prerequisites:

Create a Google Cloud Project with a defined set of virtual private cloud (VPC) networks, which can be the default VPC for a project. For more information, see Projects and VPC networks.
Identify the network IP address space that you want to use for your cloud instance. Your IP address space must be compatible with the existing set of VPC networks in your Google Cloud project. If you want direct connectivity between your data center and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), your cloud instance IP address space must be compatible with your on-premises networks. The IP address space uses the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation to configure the service. This IP range must be a private IP range RFC1918 that does not overlap with any other IP ranges in your VPC or any advertised IP ranges coming from interconnects or VPNs that are used for on-prem resources. An example of an IP address that uses the CIDR notation is 172.16.1.0/24.
