# GCP deployment architecture

These topics describe how to install Domino on [Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/kubernetes-engine-overview). GKE is hosted on [Google Cloud Platform (GCP)](https://cloud.google.com/docs/overview).

When you deploy Domino to GKE, you must have the following services and components:

Runtime platform

* **A**: [GKE cluster](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/creating-a-regional-cluster) deployed in three zones. The cluster must match our [compatible Kubernetes versions](/6.3/admin/architecture-and-deployment/kubernetes-infrastructure/kubernetes-compatibility).

Node/instances: [Node pools](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/node-pools)

* **B**: Platform nodes: Node pool (4-6) n2-highmem-8, 128Gb root disk.

* **C**: Compute nodes: Node pool (1–20) n2-highmem-8, 400Gb root disk.

* **D**: GPU compute nodes: Node pool (0–5) (Optional) n2-highmem-8, 400Gb root disk.

Storage

* **E**: Shared filesystem and datasets: [Google Cloud storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/quickstart-console).

* **F**: Backups: [Google Cloud storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/quickstart-console).

* **G**: Environment and model images: [Google Artifact Registry](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/overview).

Networking

* **H**: Ingress load balancer: [External HTTPS load balancing](https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/https).

* **I**: Cluster network: [Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc).
