What is Sole-tenant Nodes
- Dedicated Physical server for hosting only your projects.
- NOT SHARED with any other customers
- Can use all Compute Engine features as other VMs
- Can meet security and compliance requirements with workloads that require physical isolation
- Can meet requirements for BYOL (Bring your own license) scenarios
- Configurable maintenance policy helps us to schedule the Sole-tenant HOST maintenance as per our desired timing.
Usecases
• Gaming workloads with performance requirements
• Finance or healthcare workloads with security and compliance requirements
• Windows workloads with licensing requirements
• Machine learning, data processing, or image rendering workloads. For these workloads, consider reserving GPUs.
Sole-tenant Nodes - Node Template
Node Template
• Defines the properties of each sole-tenant node in a node group
• Node Template is a regional resource
Node Type
• m1-node-96-1433 - vCPU: 96 and Memory: 1433 GB
• Local SSD (Optional)
• GPU Accelerator (Optional)
Affinity Labels
• Affinity labels ensure that VM instances run on the required node groups
Sole-tenant Node Types
Sole-tenant Nodes - Node Group
Node Group
• Group sole-tenant nodes to work as a single unit in that respective zone
Node Group Location
• Region and Zone where sole-tenant nodes will be created
Node Template
• Node Type, Affinity labels, Local SSD, GPUs and CPU Environment
Autoscaling
• Resize the node group with sole-tenant nodes based on high or low loads
• Minimum Nodes: 2, Maximum Nodes: 4
Maintenance Settings
• Define a desired maintenance window for sole-tenant nodes
Share Settings
• Do not share this node group with other projects
• Share this node group with all projects within the organization
• Share this node group with selected projects within the organization
