When I create an Image from a vdi-file in Cloud Engine I have the option to choose if there is an operating system on the virtual disk or not (Data only). If I choose Windows 10 (x64) as the OS I need to configure a Sole Tenancy if I want to create an instance from the image. Why is this mandatory if a OS is present on the virtual disk? Thank You!

Just wondering if you are following/referring this document [1] for creating VM instances from image .According to this, as a optional part, If you chose an OS image that supports Shielded VM features, you can modify the settings from ‘Management, security, disks, networking, sole tenancy’ option.you can take a look at details on Sole-tenant nodes [2].

Hi @Shanewaz thanks for the reply. Yes, I was following/referring to these documents. I was just wondering why google cloud made the sole tenancy mandatory for starting an instance from an image with predefined OS. Maybe my whole approach was wrong. I solved it by following these steps: linkGunnar– Gunnar2021-04-15 14:27:14 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2021 at 14:27

1hi, @Gunnar I'm trying exactly the same and GCP forces me to use sole tenancy which I don't want. Did you manage to spin up the Windows instance in GCP without using sole tenancy? The link you've provided, does not work anymore. ThanksShota– Shota2022-06-27 15:59:58 +00:00Commented Jun 27, 2022 at 15:59
