Flex Classic on GCP

Dalet Flex is fully compatible Google Cloud Platform (GCP) hosting.

Flex deployment is compatible with any GCP region and extends the core blueprint with GCP added-value services.

Flex Infrastructure on GCP

Flex deployment is spread accross 3 Zones and consists of:

CloudDNS-managed DNS domain and services.
Cloud Load Balancing for public query routing.
Fixed-sized GCE instances with Block Storage.
Cloud Storage buckets for media assets storage with various tiering and storage classes, as to optimize access / performance / costs.

Bill-of-Materials

Flex platform usage is usually 'flat' or consistent over time, requiring no extra need (or added complexity) for resources auto-scaling. Consequently, Flex infrastructure is usually expected to be right-sized.

GCE instances specifications depend on node type and platform forecasted usage.

Please reach out to your Dalet representative for detailed BoM generation.

Segregation of Duties

If you intend to manage 2 (or more) different Flex instances (e.g. production and staging ones), it is recommended to use 2 distinct GCP accounts (or at least VPCs and having each resource properly tagged).

This comes very handy for cost control or security isolation.
