    Summary of Google Cloud Platform Windows Out Of Box Catalog items

    This release provides fully functional sample catalog items designed for ServiceNow customers to request and manage Windows virtual machines (VMs) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). These catalog items enable ordering Windows VMs with flexible configurations, including multiple disks and cloud firewall settings, while enforcing policy-based approvals and security compliance.

    Key Features

    • CSC GCP Windows VM: Allows ordering a Windows VM of any instance type. VM sizes beyond e2-micro and e2-small require administrator approval. Users provide Windows credentials that meet complexity requirements based on the Windows version.
    • CSC GCP Windows Multiple Disks: Enables ordering a Windows VM with up to 10 additional disks. Up to two disks do not require approval, but orders with more than two disks require administrator approval. Disk sizes and types can vary.
    • CSC GCP Windows Cloud Firewall: Provides capability to order a secure Windows VM with customizable firewall rules. Users can assign one or more security groups (firewall-port rules) based on selected VPCs and subnets to restrict network access for enhanced security.
    • Policy Compliance and Automation: Upon deployment, workflow automation runs a Cloud Configuration Governance (CCG) scan on Windows instances to validate compliance with policy rules. Non-compliant deployments are flagged with a 'Follow up needed' state for corrective action.
    • Tagging and CMDB Integration: All deployed resources (VMs, networks, storage) are assigned a tag (key-value) recorded in the CMDB key-value table. Currently, tags are not updated in the public cloud environment but will be supported in future releases.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Quickly provision Windows VMs on GCP with flexible configuration options tailored to workload needs.
    • Maintain governance and security through automated compliance checks and approval workflows, reducing risks of non-compliant deployments.
    • Improve security posture by controlling network access via cloud firewall configuration directly from the catalog order form.
    • Enhance configuration management and asset tracking through CMDB integration and resource tagging.

    Cloud Services Catalog Windows VM, up to 10 additional disks on Google Cloud Platform or with cloud firewall.

    This is a fully functional sample catalog item that can be used to request a Windows instance of any type from Google Cloud Platform.

    Linux VM orders and features:

    Order Features

    CSC GCP Windows VM: Order a Windows Virtual machine that allows installation of Agent Client Collector. VM sizes other than e2-micro and e2-small require approval.

    This is a fully functional sample catalog item that can be used to request a Windows instance of any instance type from Google Cloud Provider. For instance types other than e2-micro and e2-small, approval is needed from administrator, by policy.

    The Windows credentials are provided by the user in catalog order form. The credentials to meet complexity requirement based on windows version.

    The workflow automation runs a CCG scan on the deployed Windows instance, and checks the policy rule with the configuration of the VM. If there is any violation, the stack will be set with 'Follow up needed' state to notify that the stack deployment is not as per norms.

    CSC GCP Windows multiple disks: Order a Windows virtual machine and specify up to 10 additional disk. No approval is necessary for up to two disks, but for anything beyond that, approval will be required.

    This is a fully functional sample catalog item that can be used to request a Windows instance of any instance type from Google Cloud Provider. This catalog item form allows ordering up to 10 additional disks (volumes) attached to the VM of varying sizes and types. If more than two additional disks are added to the request, approval is needed from administrator, by policy.

    The Windows credentials are provided by the user in catalog order form. The credentials to meet complexity requirement based on windows version.

    CSC GCP Windows Cloud Firewall: Order a secure Windows virtual machine with enhanced security to allow or deny traffic to and from your VM instances based on your specified configuration for highest level of security.

    This is a fully functional sample catalog item that can be used to request a Windows instance of any instance type from Google Cloud Provider. This catalog item form allows capability to assign one or more security groups (firewall-port rules) to the compute instance so that the network access to the VM is restricted. Security groups are listed for the selected VPC and subnets.

    The Windows credentials are provided by the user in catalog order form. The credentials to meet complexity requirement based on windows version.
    Note:

    Tag (key-value) is assigned to all deployed resources. Example: VM, network, storage as present in the stack.

    The key-value is updated only in the cmdb_key_value table, not in public cloud at this time. This will be fixed in future releases to update the tags in cloud.
