# Google Cloud Configuration

If your public cloud provider is Google Cloud, you need to [**create a VLAN attachment**](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/partner/creating-vlan-attachments) on Google Cloud console first, generate a pairing key and share it to Zenlayer. See [**Partner Interconnect provisioning**](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/partner/provisioning-overview) for more details. The general steps are listed below.

## **On Google Cloud Console**

Use the pairing key generated on Google Cloud to create cloud connect.

* [Layer 2 connection](/welcome/cloud-networking/get-started/create-a-layer-2-connection/select-a-public-cloud-as-access-point.md)
* [Layer 3 connection](/welcome/cloud-networking/get-started/create-a-layer-3-connection/select-a-public-cloud-as-access-point.md)
