For information about how to provision VMs on sole-tenant nodes, see <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/provisioning-sole-tenant-vms">Provisioning VMs on sole-tenant nodes</a>.</p> <p>Sole-tenancy lets you have exclusive access to a <em>sole-tenant node</em>, which is a physical Compute Engine server that is dedicated to hosting only your project's VMs. Use sole-tenant nodes to keep your VMs physically separated from VMs in other projects, or to group your VMs together on the same host hardware as shown in the following diagram. You can also create a sole-tenant node group and specify whether you want to <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/share-node-groups">share it with other projects or with the entire organization</a>.</p> <figure style="text-align: center"> <img src="/static/compute/images/sole-tenancy/multi-tenant-versus-sole-tenant.svg" alt="A multi-tenant host versus a sole-tenant node." width="480"> <figcaption><b>Figure 1</b>: A multi-tenant host versus a sole-tenant node.</figcaption> </figure> <p>VMs running on sole-tenant nodes can use the same Compute Engine features as other VMs, including transparent scheduling and block storage, but with an added layer of hardware isolation. To give you full control over the VMs on the physical server, each sole-tenant node maintains a one-to-one mapping to the physical server that is backing the node.</p> <p>Within a sole-tenant node, you can provision multiple VMs on machine types of various sizes, which lets you efficiently use the underlying resources of the dedicated host hardware. Also, if you choose not to share the host hardware with other projects, you can meet security or compliance requirements with workloads that require physical isolation from other workloads or VMs. If your workload requires sole tenancy only temporarily, you can modify <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/vm-tenancy">VM tenancy</a> as necessary.</p> <p>Sole-tenant nodes can help you meet dedicated hardware requirements for <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/bringing-your-own-licenses">bring your own license (BYOL)</a> scenarios that require per-core or per-processor licenses. When you use sole-tenant nodes, you have some visibility into the underlying hardware, which lets you track core and processor usage. To track this usage, Compute Engine reports the ID of the physical server on which a VM is scheduled. Then, by using <a href="/logging/docs">Cloud Logging</a>, you can <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/determining-server-usage">view the historical server usage of a VM</a>.</p> <p>To optimize the use of the host hardware, you can do the following:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/compute/docs/nodes/overcommitting-cpus-sole-tenant-vms">Overcommit sole-tenant VM CPUs</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li><p><a href="/compute/docs/nodes/share-node-groups">Share sole-tenant node groups</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="/compute/docs/nodes/manually-live-migrate">Manually live migrate VMs</a></p></li> </ul> <p>Through a configurable host maintenance policy, you can control the behavior of sole-tenant VMs while their host is undergoing maintenance. You can specify when maintenance occurs, and whether the VMs maintain affinity with a specific physical server or are moved to other sole-tenant nodes within a node group.</p> <h2 id="workload_considerations" data-text="Workload considerations" tabindex="-1">Workload considerations</h2> <p>The following types of workloads might benefit from using sole-tenant nodes:</p> <ul> <li><p>Gaming workloads with performance requirements.</p></li> <li><p>Finance or healthcare workloads with security and compliance requirements.</p></li> <li><p>Windows workloads with licensing requirements.</p></li> <li><p>Machine learning, data processing, or image rendering workloads. For these workloads, consider <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/provisioning-sole-tenant-vms">reserving GPUs</a>.</p></li> <li><p>Workloads requiring increased input/output operations per second (IOPS) and decreased latency, or workloads that use temporary storage in the form of caches, processing space, or low-value data. For these workloads, consider <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/provisioning-sole-tenant-vms">reserving Local SSDs</a>.</p></li> </ul> <h2 id="node_templates" data-text="Node templates" tabindex="-1">Node templates</h2> <p>A node template is a regional resource that defines the properties of each node in a node group. When you create a node group from a node template, the properties of the node template are immutably copied to each node in the node group.</p> <p>When you create a node template you must specify a node type. You can optionally specify node affinity labels when you create a node template. You can only specify node affinity labels on a node template. You can't specify node affinity labels on a node group.</p> <h2 id="node_types" data-text="Node types" tabindex="-1">Node types</h2> <p>When configuring a node template, specify a node type to apply to all nodes within a node group created based on the node template. The sole-tenant node type, referenced by the node template, specifies the total amount of vCPU cores and memory for nodes created in node groups that use that template. For example, the <code translate="no" dir="ltr">n2-node-80-640</code> node type has 80 vCPUs and 640 GB of memory.</p> <p>The VMs that you add to a sole-tenant node must have the same machine type as the node type that you specify in the node template. For example, <code translate="no" dir="ltr">n2</code> sole-tenant node types are only compatible with VMs created with the <code translate="no" dir="ltr">n2</code> machine type. You can add VMs to a sole-tenant node until the total amount of vCPUs or memory exceeds the capacity of the node.</p> <p>When you create a node group using a node template, each node in the node group inherits the node template's node type specifications. A node type applies to each individual node within a node group, not to all of the nodes in the group uniformly. So, if you create a node group with two nodes that are both of the <code translate="no" dir="ltr">n2-node-80-640</code> node type, each node is allocated 80 vCPUs and 640 GB of memory.</p> <p>Depending on your workload requirements, you might fill the node with multiple smaller VMs running on machine types of various sizes, including <a href="/compute/docs/machine-types#predefined_machine_types">predefined machine types</a>, <a href="/compute/docs/machine-types#custom_machine_types">custom machine types</a>, and <a href="/compute/docs/instances/creating-instance-with-custom-machine-type#extendedmemory">machine types with extended memory</a>. When a node is full, you cannot schedule additional VMs on that node.</p> <p>The following table displays the available node types. To see a list of the node types available for your project, run the <a href="/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/sole-tenancy/node-types/list"><code translate="no" dir="ltr">gcloud compute sole-tenancy

When you create a group, specify the host maintenance policy for VMs on the node group, the number of nodes for the node group, and whether to <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/share-node-groups">share it with other projects or with the entire organization</a>.</p> <p>A node group can have zero or more nodes; for example, you can reduce the number of nodes in a node group to zero when you don't need to run any VMs on nodes in the group, or you can enable the <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/node-group-autoscaler">node group autoscaler</a> to manage the size of the node group automatically.</p> <p>Before provisioning VMs on sole-tenant nodes, you must create a sole-tenant node group. A node group is a homogeneous set of sole-tenant nodes in a specific zone. Node groups can contain multiple VMs running on <a href="/compute/docs/machine-types">machine types</a> of various sizes, as long as the machine type has two or more vCPUs.</p> <p>When you create a node group, <a href="/compute/docs/nodes/node-group-autoscaler">enable autoscaling</a> so that the size of the group adjusts automatically to meet the requirements of your workload. If your workload requirements are static, you can manually specify the size of the node group.</p> <p>After creating a node group, you can provision VMs on the group or on a specific node within the group. For further control, use node affinity labels to schedule VMs on any node with matching affinity labels.</p> <p>After you've provisioned VMs on node groups, and optionally assigned affinity labels to provision VMs on specific node groups or nodes, consider <a href="/compute/docs/labeling-resources">labeling your resources</a> to help manage your VMs. Labels are key-value pairs that can help you categorize your VMs so that you can view them in aggregate for reasons such as billing. For example, you can use labels to mark the role of a VM, its tenancy, the license type, or its location.</p> <h3 id="host_maintenance_policy" data-text="Host maintenance policy" tabindex="-1">Host maintenance policy</h3> <p>Depending on your licensing scenarios and workloads, you might want to limit the number of physical cores used by your VMs. The host maintenance policy you choose might depend on, for example, your licensing or compliance requirements, or, you might want to choose a policy that lets you limit usage of physical servers. With all of these policies, your VMs remain on dedicated hardware.</p> <p>When you schedule VMs on <a href="/compute/docs/nodes">sole-tenant nodes</a>, you can choose from the following three different host maintenance policy options, which let you determine how and whether Compute Engine <a href="/compute/docs/instances/live-migration-process">live migrates</a> VMs during <a href="/compute/docs/instances/host-maintenance-overview#host_events">host events</a>, which occur approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. During maintenance, Compute Engine live migrates, as a group, all of the VMs on the host to a different sole-tenant node, but, in some cases, Compute Engine might break up the VMs into smaller groups and live migrate each smaller group of VMs to separate sole-tenant nodes.</p> <h4 id="default_host_maintenance_policy" data-text="Default host maintenance policy" tabindex="-1">Default host maintenance policy</h4> <p>This is the default host maintenance policy, and VMs on nodes groups configured with this policy follow <a href="/compute/docs/instances/host-maintenance-overview#maintenanceevents">traditional maintenance behavior for non-sole-tenant VMs</a>. That is, depending on the on-host maintenance setting of the VM's host, VMs <a href="/compute/docs/instances/live-migration-process">live migrate</a> to a new sole-tenant node in the node group before a host maintenance event, and this new sole-tenant node only runs the customer's VMs.</p> <p>This policy is most suitable for per-user or per-device licenses that require live migration during host events. This setting doesn't restrict migration of VMs to within a fixed pool of physical servers, and is recommended for general workloads without physical server requirements and that don't require existing licenses.</p> <p>Because VMs live migrate to any server without considering existing server affinity with this policy, this policy is not suitable for scenarios requiring minimization of the use of physical cores during host events.</p> <p>The following figure shows an animation of the <strong>Default</strong> host maintenance policy.</p> <figure style="text-align: center"> <img src="/static/compute/images/sole-tenancy/maintenance-policies/default.gif" alt="Animation of the default host maintenance policy."> <figcaption><b>Figure 2</b>: Animation of the <b>Default</b> host maintenance policy.</figcaption> </figure> <h4 id="restart_in_place_host_maintenance_policy" data-text="Restart in place host maintenance policy" tabindex="-1">Restart in place host maintenance policy</h4> <p>When you use this host maintenance policy, Compute Engine stops VMs during host events, and then restarts the VMs on the same physical server after the host event.
