Windows BYOL on Compute Engine

[sijohnmathew]

Hi,

Is anyone using Windows BYOL (Bring Your Own Lic) in Google Compute Engine.

When we create windows images (Custom), can we run it on regular compute engine ?

Or can we run it only on Sole Tenant Nodes ?

Hello @sijohnmathew  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Nope, you can't utilize custom images and use them as golden image for regular compute engine.

as per documentation :
"To create a VM instance that uses the custom BYOL image, you must provision the VM instance on a sole-tenant node."

More info here:
