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.

No regions match the filter.
Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Google doesn't offer Windows on Arm, so c4a-standard-16 has Linux prices only.
What the prices include
- Regions. c4a-standard-16 is priced in the 32 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 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. C4A gets no sustained-use discount.
