High-Performance, Scalable VMs
Google Compute Engine delivers virtual machines running in Google's innovative data centers and worldwide fiber network. Compute Engine's tooling and workflow support enable scaling from single instances to global, load-balanced cloud computing.
Compute Engine's VMs boot quickly, come with persistent disk storage, and deliver consistent performance. Our virtual servers are available in many configurations including predefined sizes or the option to create Custom Machine Types optimized for your specific needs. Flexible pricing and automatic sustained use discounts make Compute Engine the leader in price/performance.
Industry Leading Price & Performance
Compute Engine VMs boot quickly and are consistently high performance. Compute Engine also offers industry-leading local SSD performance. Compare throughput on equivalent IaaS offerings and see the difference our virtual servers can make for your workloads.
Low Cost, Automatic Discounts
Google bills in second-level increments, so you only pay for the compute time you use. With sustained use discounts, we automatically give you discounted prices for long-running workloads with no up-front commitment required.
Fast & Efficient Networking
Create large compute clusters that benefit from strong and consistent cross-machine bandwidth. Connect to machines in other data centers and to other Google services using Google's private global fiber network. Create an instance, check the network configs, run some tests.
Environmentally Friendly Global Network
Our infrastructure is entirely carbon-neutral. Our global network of data centers consume 50% less energy than the typical datacenter and we purchase enough renewable energy to match 100% of the energy consumed by our global operations. We are growing our global datacenter footprint so your applications can run closer to your customers and distribute geographically for resiliency.
Flexibility for Every Workload
Resize your clusters, create machine images, virtualize your network, use Preemptible VMs for batch workloads and create Custom Machine Types to optimize for your specific needs. Our pricing model won't lock you into obsolete machine types with upfront agreements.
