Windows BYOL on Compute Engine

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.”
