As such, in\nmany operating systems, all applications and users can reach these variables and\naccess this information.</p>\n\n<p>Because of this reason, Google strongly recommends that you don't write or store\nsensitive or personal identifiable information such as passwords or private keys\nto UEFI variables.</p>\n\n<h2 id="considerations_for_arm_images" data-text="Considerations for Arm images" tabindex="-1">Considerations for Arm images</h2>\n\n<p>Google offers the <a href="/compute/docs/instances/arm-on-compute">C4A and Tau T2A</a>\nmachine series, which run on Arm CPU platforms.
