Sole-tenant nodes for Google Cloud Platform

Sole-tenant nodes offer a specialized infrastructure option within Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that provides dedicated physical servers to individual users or organizations. Unlike traditional multi-tenant environments where multiple users share the same physical hardware, sole-tenant nodes ensure that a user’s VM instances run exclusively on a single physical server, providing enhanced control, security, and performance isolation.

With sole-tenant nodes, users have the flexibility to deploy VM instances on dedicated hardware, enabling them to meet specific compliance requirements, data residency needs, or performance guarantees. This level of isolation ensures that sensitive workloads remain segregated from other tenants, reducing the risk of data exposure and unauthorized access.
