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.

No regions match the filter.
Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Google doesn't offer Windows on Arm, so c4a-highmem-32-lssd has Linux prices only.
What the prices include
- Regions. c4a-highmem-32-lssd is priced in the 31 regions where Compute Engine runs it in at least one zone. It may run in only some of a region's zones.
- 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 C4A 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. C4A gets no sustained-use discount.
