Key features
Intel-powered instance benefits
Intel architecture delivers the performance required to address the broadest range of workloads and services—whether compute, networking, or storage.
General purpose workloads (N1, N2)
N1 & N2 instances offer a good balance of price and performance, and are suitable for a wide variety of common workloads including databases, dev/test environments, web apps, and gaming.
N2 general purpose VMs with 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors offer 30% or better price-performance, for a variety of workloads, compared to VMs of the same size running on previous gen Intel® processors.
Compute-intensive workloads (C2)
Compute-optimized machines provide the highest performance per core on Compute Engine and are optimized for workloads such as high performance computing (HPC), game servers, and latency-sensitive API serving.
Google Cloud’s first compute-optimized instance, C2, offers 40% better compute performance1 and 90% faster CPU frequency2 compared to the previous generation N1 instance.
Ultra-high memory (M2, M1)
Memory-optimized machines offer the highest memory configurations with up to 12 TB for a single instance. They are well suited to memory-intensive workloads such as large, in-memory databases like SAP HANA, and in-memory data analytics workloads.
Intel 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable M2 instances provide large, SAP-certified VMs up to 12 TB.
Google Cloud VMware Engine
Easily lift and shift your VMware-based applications to Google Cloud without changes to your apps, tools, or processes. The service provides all the hardware and VMware licenses you need to run in a dedicated VMware SDDC in Google Cloud.
Google Cloud VMware Engine is running on 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors providing up to 768 GB of memory.
