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 Northern Virginia (us-east4). The total is the published price; the parts add up to it.
| Part | SKU | Google's rate | Quantity | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU | G2 Instance Core running in Virginia CF07-A027-C390 | $0.024906 per hour | 8 vCPU | $0.199251 |
| Memory | G2 Instance Ram running in Virginia A15F-B56F-97FE | $0.002918 per GiB-hour | 32 GiB | $0.093372 |
| GPU | Nvidia L4 GPU running in Virginia 1D4C-3419-0297 | $0.558206 per hour | 1 GPU | $0.558206 |
| On-demand, Linux | $0.850829 | |||
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. g2-standard-8 is priced in the 18 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 G2 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. G2 gets no sustained-use discount.
