This section contains important features
and caveats of the Prisma SD-WAN GCP-NCC CloudBlade. The default
virtual ION version for this CloudBlade is 5.5.3-b4.
New/Updated Features
According to Google, Network
Connectivity Center is a hub-and-spoke model for network
connectivity management in Google Cloud. Its hub resource reduces
operational complexity through a simple, centralized connectivity management
model. The hub, combined with Google's network, delivers reliable
connectivity on demand.
In Prisma SD-WAN, as per Google, NCC
would serve as a vantage point to seamlessly connect VPNs, partner
dedicated interconnects, as well as third-party routers and Software-Defined
WANs, helping you optimize connectivity, reduce operational burden, and
lower costs—wherever your applications or users may be.
Cloud
Router is a fully distributed and managed Google Cloud service
that programs custom dynamic routes and scales with network traffic.
It dynamically exchanges routes between Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
and on-premise networks using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
This
release supports both new / existing GCP deployments and multi-region
GCP deployments.
