Cloud Marketplace

The Google Cloud Marketplace is a curated catalogue of enterprise-ready solutions that you can deploy directly onto your Google Cloud infrastructure. It includes virtual machine images, containerised applications, Kubernetes apps, SaaS offerings, and managed data services — all from Google and third-party vendors. The Marketplace simplifies procurement, deployment, and billing for a wide range of software.

What is Cloud Marketplace?

Cloud Marketplace (formerly Cloud Launcher) is an online store within the Google Cloud Console where you can discover, evaluate, and deploy third-party and open-source software. It serves as a one-stop shop for solutions that integrate with GCP.

Key characteristics:

• Integrated billing — charges for Marketplace solutions appear on your existing GCP invoice. No separate procurement or payment process is needed.
• Pre-configured deployments — solutions come as ready-to-deploy packages with documented configurations
• Verified by Google — all solutions undergo a verification process to ensure quality and security
• Variety of deployment types — VM images, Kubernetes applications, SaaS integrations, and managed services
• Free and paid options — many open-source solutions are free (you only pay for the underlying GCP infrastructure); commercial solutions include software licence fees
