Compute Engine offers VMs with a KVM hypervisor,\noperating systems for both Linux and Windows, and local and durable\nstorage options. You can configure and control Compute Engine\nresources using the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or using a\nREST-based API. You can also use a variety of programming languages available\nwith Google's\n[Cloud Client Libraries](/apis/docs/cloud-client-libraries).\n\nHere are some of the benefits of using Compute Engine:\n\n- **Extensibility:** Compute Engine integrates with Google Cloud technologies such as Cloud Storage, Google Kubernetes Engine, and BigQuery, to extend beyond the basic computational capability to create more complex and sophisticated applications.\n- **Scalability:** Scale the number of compute resources as needed without having to manage your own infrastructure. This is useful for businesses that experience sudden increases in traffic, because you can quickly add more instances to handle the increase and remove the instances after they are no longer needed.\n- **Reliability:** Google's infrastructure is highly reliable, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.\n- **Cost-effectiveness:** Compute Engine offers a variety of pricing options to fit your budget. Also, you only pay for the resources that you use, and there are no up-front costs.\n\nWhat Compute Engine provides\n\nCompute Engine provides flexibility so that you can run a wide-range\nof applications and workloads that support your needs. From batch processing\nto webserving or high performance computing you can configure\nCompute Engine to meet your needs.\n\nLocation selection\n\nGoogle offers worldwide regions for you to deploy Compute Engine\nresources. You can choose a region that best fits the requirements of your\nworkload:\n\n- Region-specific restrictions\n- User latency by region\n- Latency requirements of your application\n- Amount of control over latency\n- Balance between low latency and simplicity\n\nFor more information about regions and zones, see\n[About regions and zones](/compute/docs/regions-zones).\n\nCompute Engine machine types\n\nCompute Engine provides a comprehensive set of machine families, each\ncontaining machine types to choose from when you create a compute instance. Each\nmachine family is comprised of machine series and predefined machine types\nwithin each series.\n\nCompute Engine offers general-purpose, compute-optimized,\nstorage-optimized, memory-optimized, and accelerator-optimized machine\nfamilies. If a preconfigured, general-purpose machine type doesn't meet your\nneeds, then you can create a custom machine type with customized CPU and memory\nresources for some of the machine series.\n\nFor more information, see the\n[Machine families resource guide](/compute/docs/machine-resource).\n\nOperating systems\n\nCompute Engine provides many preconfigured public operating system\nimages for both Linux and Windows. Most public images are provided for no\nadditional cost, but there are some\n[premium images](/compute/disks-image-pricing#premiumimages) for which you are\nbilled. You are not billed for importing custom images, but you will incur an\n[image storage charge](/compute/disks-image-pricing#imagestorage) while you keep\nthe custom image in your project.\n\nStorage options\n\nYou can choose from several block storage options, including Google Cloud Hyperdisk,\nLocal SSD, and Persistent Disk.\n\n- **Local SSD:** Physical drives that offer the best performance, but are not\n durable. If you stop the instance, the data on the Local SSD disks that are\n attached to the instance is lost.\n Local SSD disks are attached directly to the same server as the compute instance.\n\n- **Hyperdisk:** The fastest durable storage for\n Compute Engine. Data on Hyperdisk volumes is preserved\n even if you stop the instance. Hyperdisk volumes offer\n configurable performance and can be resized dynamically.\n You can also reduce costs and disk management complexity by purchasing\n capacity and performance in advance with Hyperdisk Storage Pools.\n\n- **Persistent Disk:** If you need durable storage for a machine series that\n doesn't support Hyperdisk, then use Persistent Disk. Persistent Disk provides\n fast durable block storage that is preserved even if you stop the instance.\n\nEach option has unique pricing and performance. For more information about\ndisks in Compute Engine, see [Choose a disk type](/compute/docs/disks).\nFor cost comparisons, see [Disk pricing](/compute/disks-image-pricing#disk).\n\nWhat's next\n\n- See the [CPU platforms](/compute/docs/cpu-platforms) and [GPUs](/compute/docs/gpus) that are available for your use.\n- Read an [overview of networking capabilities](/compute/docs/networking/network-overview).\n- Learn about the various [deployment strategies](/compute/docs/choose-compute-deployment-option)."]]
