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. 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. Our global network of data centers consume 50% less energy than the typical datacenter and we purchase enough 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 for batch workloads and to optimize for your specific needs. Our pricing model won't lock you into obsolete machine types with upfront agreements. Custom Machine Types Create virtual machines with the shape i. By tailoring a to your specific needs you can realize significant savings. Persistent Disks Network storage, up to 64 TB in size, can be attached to VMs as persistent disks. You can create persistent disks in HDD or SSD formats. If a VM instance is terminated, its persistent disk retains data and can be attached to another instance. You can also take snapshots of your persistent disk and create new persistent disks from that snapshot. Local SSD Compute Engine offers always-encrypted local solid-state drive SSD block storage. Local SSD sizes up to 3 TB are available for any VM with at least 1 vCPU. Transparent Maintenance Our innovative datacenters and Live Migration technology enable proactive infrastructure maintenance, improving reliability and security. Your live VMs are automatically moved to nearby hosts, even if your VMs are under extreme load, while underlying host machines undergo maintenance. You won't have to reboot your VMs due to host software updates or even some classes of detectable hardware failure. Global Load Balancing Global load-balancing technology helps you distribute incoming requests across pools of instances across multiple regions, so you can achieve maximum performance, throughput and availability at low cost. You can also use a shared image from the Cloud Platform community, or bring your own. Batch Processing Cost effectively run large compute and batch jobs using. Fixed pricing and no contracts or reservations make it easy: simply check a box when you create the VM and turn them off when the work is done. Google Compute Engine has completed ISO 27001, SSAE-16, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 certifications, demonstrating our. Per-Second Billing Google bills in second-level increments. You pay only for the compute time that you use. Automatic Discounts With , we automatically give you discounted prices for long-running workloads with no sign-up fees or up-front commitment. Commitment savings With you can save up to 57% with no upfront costs or instance-type lockin. Containers Run, manage and orchestrate Docker containers on Compute Engine VMs with. Google's efficiency, availability of resources, and per-second billing formed the back-end of a product we call Conductor. You can try Compute Engine for free. The Google Cloud Platform offers you free usage of one f1-micro VM instance per month from North America, excluding Northern Virginia. This includes 30 GB of Standard persistent disk storage per month, and 5 GB of snapshot storage per month. Once your free trial is over, you will be billed only for the resources you continue to use.
