Features

High-performance virtual machines

Compute Engine’s Linux VMs are consistently performant, scalable, highly secure and reliable.

Supported distros include Debian and CentOS. You can choose from micro-VMs to large instances.

Powered by Google’s global network

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.

(Really) Pay for what you use

Google bills in minute-level increments (with a 10-minute minimum charge), so you don’t pay for

unused computing time. With sustained use discounts, we automatically give you discounted prices

for long-running workloads with no sign-up or up-front commitment.

Load balancing

Native load-balancing technology helps you spread incoming network traffic across a pool of

instances, so you can achieve maximum performance, throughput and availability at low cost.

Fast and easy provisioning

Quickly deploy large clusters of virtual machines with intuitive tools including a RESTful API,

command-line interface and web-based Console. You can also use tools such as RightScale and

Scalr to automatically manage your deployment.

Case Studies

Institute for Systems Biology

“Until now, we haven't had a way to work with big data sets as effectively as with Google Compute

Engine. Having a tool that lets researchers get answers fast will have a major impact on our work.”

“And we have been very satisfied with the way Google Compute Engine performs. One of the great

things with Google Compute Engine in our experience is that the performance is really reliable.”

Pricing

All machine types are charged a minimum of 10 minutes. For example, if you run your instance for 2

minutes, you will be billed for 10 minutes of usage. After 10 minutes, instances are charged in 1

minute increments, rounded up to the nearest minute. For example, an instance that lives for

11.25 minutes will be charged for 12 minutes of usage.

Prices are effective April 1, 2014.
