Deployments on public clouds continue to be supported but the content for third-party public cloud deployments is no longer updated.

For the latest Tableau Server deployment content, see the Deploy section of Tableau Server help.

For those customers who have access, we recommend Tableau Cloud. For more details, see:

Introduction

To work with Tableau Server on the Google Cloud Platform, you will need:

  • A Google Cloud Platform account. If you don't already have one, sign up for a new account.

  • A Tableau Server licence.

    • For a standalone Tableau Server deployment, you must contact sales for a product key.

    • For a cluster-based deployment, you need a user-based licence (which covers all authorised users of Tableau Server), a core-based licence (with a minimum of 16 cores) or a Tableau Server subscription licence. To obtain a product key, contact sales.

    For more information about Tableau Server licensing options, see Licensing Overview.
