- Definition
- Sole-tenant node pricing: "A sole-tenant node is a physical Compute Engine server that is dedicated to hosting only your project's VM instances. When you create sole-tenant nodes, you are billed for all of the vCPU and memory resources on the sole-tenant nodes, plus a sole-tenancy premium, which is 10% of the cost of all of the underlying vCPU and memory resources."
- Counting rules
- Billing covers the whole node (all vCPUs and memory) regardless of VM placement; VMs on the node run at no additional cost. Minimum 1 minute, then 1-second increments. GPUs and Local SSD on the node are billed in full.
- Floors / minimums
- Node groups: the BYOL guide example uses a minimum of 2 nodes for the n1-node-96-624 quota calculation; migrate-within-node-group reserves 1 holdback node per 20 nodes.
