SPEAKER: Now more than ever, buyers
are turning to cloud marketplaces to fulfill
their procurement needs.
As marketplaces are poised to capture
a significant percentage of the $230 billion
SaaS and Cloud software market in 2021,
learn how you can purchase multiple solution types--
SaaS, VMs, containers, datasets, and APIs--
on Google Cloud Marketplace that are vetted by Google Cloud
to cover your enterprise's IT needs.
All of this with a single bill and the ease of deployment
you've never seen before.
Google Cloud Marketplace is a modern procurement platform
offering a diverse selection of security, database,
networking solutions, and more.
This video will walk you through how Google Cloud Marketplace
improves your IT solution buying experience
and empowers your procurement team to procure
and fulfill fast with a single bill from Google.
The Marketplace has both Google Cloud
products and partner solutions to ensure you
can find exactly what you need.

Let's begin by navigating to the Marketplace.
There are three ways to do this.
If you're not logged in to the Google Cloud console,
you can access the Marketplace homepage by typing
in cloud.google.com/marketplace, or just searching for Google
Cloud Marketplace.
If you are in your console, you'll
see the Marketplace in the left navigation bar.
One final way to access the Marketplace is via
what's called a [? cameo. ?] [? Cameos ?] show
the Marketplace in the context of your current console
location, offering a Marketplace experience that is personalized
to your needs.
Once you reach the Marketplace homepage, browse anonymously,
or if you're interested in purchasing or seeing
what you have deployed, log in using your Google credentials.
If you know what you're looking for,
the Search bar is in the center of the page,
or you can browse shelves that showcase
the different solutions available.
We keep these shelves fresh.
For instance, we were the first marketplace
to add a COVID-19 dataset.
The other shelves here feature commonly
searched for solution areas, such as VMs,
GCP services, SaaS, OS, DevStacks, et cetera.
On the left side, you'll see filters.
These include different types of products and categories,
as well as industries, which are new.
And we're constantly adding more to help you easily
find the right solutions.
Google Cloud products can be found under the Google Cloud
Platform filter.

Let's say you want to browse virtual machines.
Begin by clicking Virtual Machines to see the VM
solutions we have before filtering further.
Let's say we want to look for load balancing Ubuntu.
From here, you can explore a solution in more detail.
We're going to go ahead and click on the second one here.
NGINX Plus Basic, Ubuntu 18.04.
The right column provides the technical specs,
such as what the solution runs on and its type.
Further down the Overview page, there's
more information about the solution and company, a pricing
table, tutorials and documentation, training
and support, and the terms of service.
Many VM solutions have free trials
which are listed at the top.
Like this one says, "30-day Trial Available."

Let's take a look at a SaaS solution next.
Search for NetApp and let autocomplete
suggest NetApp Cloud Volume Service.
Click on the first option here.
As with the VM solution, this page outlines technical specs.
And further down the Overview page,
there's more information about the solution and company,
a pricing table, tutorials and documentation, training
and support, and the terms of service.
Let's go ahead and hit Purchase.
Note that only users that are billing
admins and at least a project viewer will be able to do this.
Once you have clicked Purchase, you
can select a plan, preferred usage fees and specs, and more.
On the right side, there's a pricing slider
to help you more accurately calculate the overall cost.
At the bottom are the terms of service.
We're looking at building custom user license
agreements directly within the Marketplace.
But for now you'll see the terms of the partner and GCP.
When you Subscribe, your order will
go to the vendor for approval.

Next, we're going to look at what we call Private Offers.
We know that many developers purchase pay as you
go solutions to try them out.
And then if the trial goes well, they
will want to purchase the solution.
With Private Offers, you can get negotiated prices
from the partner via the Marketplace.
From the Details page, click Contact
to get in touch with the partners
to start negotiating an offer.
Once the price is negotiated, the partner simply
needs to access their Marketplace Partner Portal
and fill in the relevant details to create your discount.
When this is saved, a URL will be generated, which
the vendor will email to you.
To do this, the customer will need
to have billing admin rights and at least
be a viewer on the project.
One additional benefit is that these purchases
count towards your Google Cloud Commit drawdown.
We're continuously gathering feedback
and improving the flow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now if you go back to the Marketplace homepage,
click on Your Solutions to view information about everything
that you've purchased.
This page shows you what you need
to activate, what's failed, what's expired,
what's currently running, and more.
We're revamping this page to include order management
related tasks here, as well.
If you click on the hamburger menu on the top left and hit
Billing, you'll see all the info about how you're being billed.
You can see how much you're spending every month
and what you're forecasted to spend this month.
If you click View Report, you can drill down further
by project, or even change to group
by SKU for a deeper understanding of billing cost.
We also provide the option to add solutions
to a private catalog, an enterprise governance
tool that enables admins to take content from Marketplace.
The private catalog provides a tool for admins
to add pre-approved solutions that
have been vetted and verified and follow
their internal governance and compliance policies.
These solutions can come from the Marketplace
or can be internally created solutions.
Enterprise customers then have a single place
to discover approved solutions that they
can deploy knowing the solutions have been approved and verified
by their Cloud admin.
Here you can see an example of a private catalog, which looks
and feels like the Marketplace.
