How this price is built
Google bills a VM by its parts, each with its own SKU. These are the parts of the On-demand Linux rate in Iowa (us-central1). The total is the published price; the parts add up to it.
| Part | SKU | Google's rate | Quantity | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU | A3Plus Instance Core running in Americas 219A-D213-4889 | $0.026924 per hour | 208 vCPU | $5.600108 |
| Memory | A3Plus Instance Ram running in Americas 4DA1-178C-94E8 | $0.002344 per GiB-hour | 1,872 GiB | $4.388865 |
| GPU | Nvidia H100 80GB Plus GPU running in Americas 7CFD-81D6-E49C | $10.344276 per hour | 8 GPU | $82.754206 |
| Local SSD | SSD backed Local Storage 62AF-A39E-269B | $0.08 per GiB-month | 6,000 GiB | $0.657534 |
| On-demand, Linux | $93.400713 | |||
Google prices Local SSD per GiB-month; the hourly figure divides it by 730 hours.
Windows adds the Windows Server licence: 208 vCPU × $0.046 per hour (SKU 92D2-8A8F-DF54) = $9.5680/hr, the same in every region and on every basis.

What the prices include
- Regions. a3-megagpu-8g is priced in the 11 regions where Compute Engine runs it in at least one zone. It may run in only some of a region's zones.
- Windows. The Windows Server licence costs $0.046 per visible vCPU per hour. Spot and commitments don't discount it, so it's added at the full rate on every basis.
- Spot. Google can stop a Spot VM at any time and changes Spot prices up to once every 30 days.
- Commitments. The 1-yr and 3-yr rates are resource-based committed use discounts: you commit to an amount of A3 vCPU, memory, GPUs and Local SSD in one region and pay for it whether you use it or not. Flexible (spend-based) commitments discount less and aren't shown.
- Sustained use. A3 gets no sustained-use discount.
