That is correct; there is no current documentation on Cloudera's site about deploying HDP into GCP GCE VMs. When I said above that:
If you have a lot of understanding of build and deployment tools, you can, with some effort, install and configure CDP Data Center (or HDP or CDH, for that matter) on GCE VMs.
…that meant if you (the person deploying) have a deep, thorough and richly contextualized understanding of GCP's tools as well as those tools used to build and deploy the various open source components of CDP Data Center (or HDP or CDH) then you can get any of those platforms to work on GCP GCE VMs. If it was already documented, then you wouldn't need that background.
That being said, there are all kinds of third- and fourth-party documentation on deploying any of the above distributions in any number of cloud environments and I would not be surprised if there's a website or youtube video out there on the internet that describes how to do it. If and when you find one, please post back here in this thread and let me know where it is so I (and other members of the community) can take advantage of the information.
Thanks in advance!
