About

Compute Engine is Google's infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform for organizations to create and run cloud-based virtual machines. Computing infrastructure in predefined or custom machine sizes to accelerate your cloud transformation. General purpose (E2, N1, N2, N2D) machines provide a good balance of price and performance. Compute optimized (C2) machines offer high-end vCPU performance for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) machines offer the highest memory and are great for in-memory databases. Accelerator optimized (A2) machines are based on the A100 GPU, for very demanding applications. Integrate Compute with other Google Cloud services such as AI/ML and data analytics. Make reservations to help ensure your applications have the capacity they need as they scale. Save money just for running Compute with sustained-use discounts, and achieve greater savings when you use committed-use discounts.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The best thing is it's stability and functionality. Great performance. Easy to integrate with other Google products.
  • Google Compute Engine is great for its reliability and scalability. It’s easy to set up and manage, with plenty of options for customizing virtual machines. The performance is solid, and it integrates well with other Google Cloud services. Plus, the pay-as-you-go pricing is pretty flexible. However, the learning curve can be steep if you're new to cloud computing, and costs can add up quickly if not monitored closely.
  • My experience with Google Compute Engine has been outstanding. The most impressive aspect is its scalability. This feature allows for the adjustment of resources to meet demand, ensuring not only top-notch performance but also cost-effectiveness. The seamless integration with other Google services enhances productivity, especially beneficial for those already in the Google ecosystem. Its reliability is exceptional, with minimal disruptions, which is essential for continuous operations. The robust security measures instill confidence by providing comprehensive protection against various online threats. Additionally, Google's commitment to using renewable energy sources in their data centers is commendable and aligns perfectly with modern environmental concerns.
  • Preemptible instances, which are inexpensive, momentary virtual machines ideal for batch processing and fault-tolerant applications, are provided by Google Compute Engine. For some applications, this might provide considerable cost reductions.
