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.

Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Windows prices include the Windows Server licence.

What the prices include

  • Regions. n4-highmem-80 is priced in the 41 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 N4 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. N4 gets no sustained-use discount.
