This section explains how to retrieve and use custom images provided by Netskope within Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

This following steps covers how to access and deploy Netskope custom images within GCP, ensuring a streamlined, efficient configuration process.

Sign in to your Google Cloud account using https://console.cloud.google.com/.
Select your Google Cloud project.
In the navigation menu, click Compute Engine > Images.

Note: The Compute Engine API may take a moment to initialize the first time you visit this page.
Click the Google Cloud Shell icon, which resembles a terminal window on the top right corner.
Google Cloud opens a Cloud Shell session in a pane at the bottom of your browser window, giving you a command-line prompt to interact with your resources.Click Authorize.
Click Authorize.
Run the command below to copy image from the Netskope environment:

gcloud compute images create "${DST_IMAGE_NAME}" --project "${DST_PROJECT}" --source-image "${SRC_IMAGE_NAME}" --source-image-project "ns-prod-eng-aig" --quiet

where,
${DST_IMAGE_NAME}: The name image name you want to save.
${DST_PROJECT}: The project you want to use this image to create an AIG appliance later.
${SRC_IMAGE_NAME}: Provided by Netskope; contact support for specific details.
You will see the AIG image in the images tab.

For example, this command will copy AIG v1.3.332 image from Netskope to “dataplane-poc“ project and save it with image name: aig-image-v1-3-332.

gcloud compute images create "aig-image-v1-3-332" --project "dataplane-poc" --source-image "ai-gateway-v1-3-332" --source-image-project "ns-prod-eng-aig" --quiet
