A Google Cloud Compute Engine machine type in the T2A machine series.
On AWS
The nearest AWS machines to t2a-standard-2 by vCPU and memory, at On-demand Linux rates in Singapore (asia-southeast1 ↔ ap-southeast-1). t2a-standard-2 isn't sold in us-east4, so this compares the paired region where its rate is lowest.
