Introduction
You can deploy Tableau Server on a Google Compute Engine (GCE) virtual machine (VM). A Tableau Server deployment on GCE supports the following:
| Tableau Server | Google Compute Engine VM Self-Deployment |
|---|---|
| Production ready |  |
| Upgrade Tableau without replacing the VM | |
| Install on Linux | |
| Install on Windows | |
| Scale-up | |
| Scale-out (add nodes) | |
| Active Directory support | |
| BYOL licence | |
The self-deployment option is described in more detail below:
Self-Deploy to Google Compute Engine VM – Provides the most flexibility and options to customise Tableau Server to your environment.
Self-deployment of Tableau Server on a Google Compute Engine VM is recommended for development, test, and production environments that start simple but may need to scale later.
For more information about self-deployment, see Self-Deploy a Single Tableau Server on the Google Cloud Platform. For more information about deploying in a distributed environment, see Self-Deploy Tableau Server on the Google Cloud Platform in a Distributed Environment.
