Google Compute Engine
Google's Compute Engine, which falls under the category of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), enables businesses to create and manage virtual machines in the cloud. This platform facilitates cloud transformation by offering computing infrastructure in both standard sizes and custom machine configurations. General-purpose machines, like the E2, N1, N2, and N2D, strike a balance between cost and performance, making them suitable for a variety of applications. For workloads that demand high processing power, compute-optimized machines (C2) deliver superior performance with advanced virtual CPUs. Memory-optimized systems (M2) are tailored for applications requiring extensive memory, making them perfect for in-memory database solutions. Additionally, accelerator-optimized machines (A2), which utilize A100 GPUs, cater to applications that have high computational demands. Users can integrate Compute Engine with other Google Cloud Services, including AI and machine learning or data analytics tools, to enhance their capabilities. To maintain sufficient application capacity during scaling, reservations are available, providing users with peace of mind. Furthermore, financial savings can be achieved through sustained-use discounts, and even greater savings can be realized with committed-use discounts, making it an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their cloud spending. Overall, Compute Engine is designed not only to meet current needs but also to adapt and grow with future demands.
