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 | 8 vCPU | $0.2772 |
| Memory | C4 Instance Ram running in Americas E259-34D3-C50F | $0.003938 per GiB-hour | 30 GiB | $0.11814 |
| On-demand, Linux | $0.39534 | |||
Windows adds the Windows Server licence: 8 vCPU × $0.046 per hour (SKU 92D2-8A8F-DF54) = $0.3680/hr, the same in every region and on every basis.

Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Windows prices include the Windows Server licence.
What the prices include
- Regions. c4-standard-8 is priced in the 42 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 and memory 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.
