When I walk through the documentation for edge deployment it gives an impression that edge deployment is only possible on Packet or AWS. Can I use GCP as my edge node and complete the deployments?  
Consider I deploy my Opennebula frontend on one google VM and Opennebula node on another VM with KVM virtualization. Will it work or have any compatibility issues?

Hello,

what you refer to is **automated** deployment of Edge nodes (not front-end), which is supported only on AWS and Packet ([http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/advanced\_components/ddc/default.html#default-ddc-templates](http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/advanced_components/ddc/default.html#default-ddc-templates)) as there are drivers only for these providers.

There shouldn’t be much problem to install front-end and even node on GCP manually. The only problem of hosted infrastructures is networking for VMs (public / private among VMs), as the providers mostly apply several restrictions which don’t allow to easily use the common OpenNebula networking models.

Best,
