Sole-tenant nodes
Dedicated physical servers that host only your VMs — for licensing or compliance — at a premium over shared tenancy.
A sole-tenant node is a physical Compute Engine server dedicated to a single customer’s VMs, used for per-core software licensing (bring-your-own-license), compliance, or performance isolation. It carries a premium on top of the normal VM cost.
Sole-tenancy is out of scope for this explorer, which prices standard shared-tenancy on-demand, committed, and Spot rates. If you need dedicated hardware, add the sole-tenancy premium shown in the console.
