Term
Not a term-based program; follows the customer's own license agreements.
Aliases
BYOL; sole tenancy; dedicated hardware
Definition
Bringing your own licenses: "Bringing your existing physical-core or physical-processor licenses that have dedicated hardware requirements requires you to bring your own media and to run that media on hardware configurations, such as sole-tenant nodes , that are compliant with your licenses."
Commercial rules
No additional charge for bringing images with existing licenses, but licenses are paid per your agreements. Premium images are not eligible. Linux BYOS with RHEL or SLES and Microsoft applications under License Mobility do not require sole-tenant nodes. Customer tracks physical core usage (Cloud Logging, BigQuery) and reports license consumption to the vendor.
Applies to
Third-party software licensed per physical core or processor with dedicated hardware requirements (for example Windows Server under Outsourcing Software Management Rights).
