What the prices include

  • Regions. a4-highgpu-8g is priced in the 4 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.
  • Commitments. The 1-yr and 3-yr rates are resource-based committed use discounts: you commit to an amount of A4 vCPU, memory and GPUs 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. A4 gets no sustained-use discount.
