Sole-Tenant Nodes

Sole-Tenant Nodes provide dedicated hardware for your Google Cloud workloads, ensuring your projects run on isolated physical servers rather than shared infrastructure. This setup is strictly for compute tasks where hardware exclusivity is a hard requirement, offering a pay-as-you-go model that charges based on actual usage without upfront commitments.

These nodes suit teams with strict compliance or performance isolation needs who can absorb the lack of a free tier. The main trade-off is cost efficiency; since there is no free tier to test configurations or offset low-volume usage, you pay immediately for every instance deployed, making it less accessible for experimental or budget-constrained projects compared to shared alternatives.
