# VMware Node Pool

A VMware Node Pool in Google Cloud is a group of nodes used to run VMware workloads within Google Cloud VMware Engine. It provides a managed cluster of ESXi hosts that deliver compute, storage, and networking resources for virtual machines. The node pool allows scaling, maintenance, and lifecycle management of VMware environments while integrating with Google Cloud services.
