GPU regions and zones

Compute Engine resources are hosted in multiple locations worldwide. These locations are composed of regions and zones. For more information, see Regions and zones.

Each zone offers a variety of GPU models and VMs can only use the GPUs available in that zone. GPUs are supported for N1 general-purpose, A3, A2, and G2 accelerator-optimized machine types. For VMs that use N1 machine types, you can attach GPUs to the VM during, or after VM creation. For VMs that use A3, A2, or G2 machine types, the GPUs are automatically attached when you create the VM.

For example in asia-east1-a, you can create an N1 general purpose VM and attach either T4, V100, or P100 GPUs, but not a P4 GPU. In asia-east1-a, you can also create a G2 accelerator-optimized VMs that automatically has L4 GPUs attached to the VM, but not an A2 accelerator-optimized VM with their A100 80GB GPUs attached.

This document lists the availability of GPU models by regions and zones.

GPU availability by regions and zones

The following sortable table lets you select different options to see where GPU resources are available. You can search either by location or GPU model, or a combination of both.

Programmatically view GPU regions and zones

You can also view the available regions and zones for GPUs by using gcloud CLI or REST. Similar to the previous table, you can use filters with these commands to restrict the list of results to specific GPU models or accelerator-optimized machine types. For more information, see View a list of GPU zones.
