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 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
