Matched on vCPU and memory, then CPU vendor, then rate; a larger size is offered only when nothing is the same size. On-demand Linux only: Spot and commitments work differently on the two clouds, so they aren't compared here.
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 | C4 Instance Core running in Americas 4AA0-9497-B351 | $0.03465 per hour | 144 vCPU | $4.9896 |
| Memory | C4 Instance Ram running in Americas E259-34D3-C50F | $0.003938 per GiB-hour | 540 GiB | $2.12652 |
| Local SSD | C4 Instance Local SSD running in Americas E0C4-9777-003A | $0.16 per GiB-month | 9,000 GiB | $1.972603 |
| On-demand, Linux | $9.088723 | |||
Google prices Local SSD per GiB-month; the hourly figure divides it by 730 hours.
Windows adds the Windows Server licence: 144 vCPU × $0.046 per hour (SKU 92D2-8A8F-DF54) = $6.6240/hr, the same in every region and on every basis.

No regions match the filter.
Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Windows prices include the Windows Server licence.
What the prices include
- Regions. c4-standard-144-lssd is priced in the 36 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 C4 vCPU, memory 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. C4 gets no sustained-use discount.
