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 | N4A Instance Core running in Iowa 36AC-06EF-9B3D | $0.02646 per hour | 8 vCPU | $0.21168 |
| Memory | N4A Instance Ram running in Iowa 2F59-FB4B-2285 | $0.00301 per GiB-hour | 64 GiB | $0.19264 |

Monthly is 730 hours and annual is 8,760. Google doesn't offer Windows on Arm, so n4a-highmem-8 has Linux prices only.
What the prices include
- Regions. n4a-highmem-8 is priced in the 9 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 N4A 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. N4A gets no sustained-use discount.
