# 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.
