Interesting: > each Dedicated Host can accommodate one or more instances of a particular type, all of which must be the same size I'm surprised by the "same size" requirement. It seems like even if you ask customers to stay within a single family (m3, m4, etc.) the customer could do their own hand placement of 8 vCPUs next to a pair of 4s... Edit: Disclaimer, I work on Compute Engine.

Is it possible that's been going on the whole time? Allowing different flavors of guests to cohabitate has few benefits (at their scale) and many drawbacks; I wouldn't be surprised if they simply never allowed it.

It probably simplifying the fitting if they just line up a Host targeted request with a dedicated host of that type.
