Deploy RLC Pro on Google Cloud Marketplace

I wrote this deployment guide for CIQ, walking through how to get RLC Pro up and running on Google Cloud Marketplace from start to a live VM.

Google was one of the first hyperscalers to back the Rocky Linux project, and CIQ has partnered with them to deliver optimized Rocky Linux images built specifically for Google Compute Engine. RLC Pro is the enterprise layer on top of that: Long-Term Support for specific minor versions, FIPS 140-3 validated packages, and an actual vendor to call when something breaks.

The post covers what you get with a subscription, why LTS minor version pinning matters for compliance frameworks like FedRAMP and CMMC, and how to get from the Marketplace listing to a running VM in a few steps.
