Hi Team,

I am trying to setup HiveMQ broker in Kubernetes on our Google Cloud Platform project for one of our clients. We’re currently looking for help on the below mentioned points:

1. Steps to setup the same on GKE
2. How to register the devices in the broker
3. What types of authentication are available.
4. How to connect via MQTT client
5. What would be the approximate pricing

Awaiting response.

Thanks,  
Nikhil Shetty

Hello @nikhilshetty

Welcome to the HiveMQ community forum. Please find our answers inline with the questions.

1. Steps to setup the same on GKE

- With the help of [HiveMQ Kubernetes Operator](https://www.hivemq.com/docs/operator/4.13/kubernetes-operator/operator-intro.html), you can deploy Hivemq cluster on GKE.

1. How to register the devices in the broker

- Can you please elaborate on what you mean here?

1. What types of authentication are available.

- HiveMQ offers [Enterprise Security extension](https://www.hivemq.com/docs/ese/4.13/enterprise-security-extension/ese-intro.html) which supports for authentication and authorization.

1. How to connect via MQTT client

- Which MQTT client you are planning to use? In case it is HIveMQ Java MQTT client then please check our [blog](https://www.hivemq.com/blog/mqtt-client-library-enyclopedia-hivemq-mqtt-client/) post which explains about it.

1. What would be the approximate pricing

- please reach out to [sales@hivemq.com](mailto:sales@hivemq.com) for more information.

I hope this helps.
