Sophos UTM Google Cloud

Hi all,

AWS has a cloud version of Sophos that can be deployed.

https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01M1ORUI6

However, I would like to know when a version will become available to deploy on Google Cloud?

I have tried building an image to work on GCP, however, I've bad no luck thus far. I can't get my VM to boot on GCP. I would really like to migrating my hosting to GCP, so getting a Sophos firewall running there, is essential.

Anyone with the same issue?

Thanks

Chris

  • Hi Chris and welcome to the UTM Community!

    For UTM, AWS is the only cloud provider actively supported.  For Sophos XG, it's Azure.

    When you say that you can't get your VM to boot, do you mean that you've loaded the software ISO into an instance and that it won't boot?  If so, then it's likely an insurmountable hardware issue.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have created a raw boot disk from a running Sophos UTM 9 instance. The instance is clean and all default config.

    From there, I created an image and uploaded it to Google Cloud.

    I then created a new VM and tried to boot from the image. When viewing the serial output, the VM is picking up all the RAM and CPU. However, it gets stuck at "Booting from disk 0...". From there, it just does nothing.

    So I assumed that Sophos isn't compatible with Google Cloud Compute yet?

    Regards

    Chris
