c4a-highmem-16-lssd by Google Cloud Platform

An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual server featuring a high memory-to-core ratio of eight gigabytes per dedicated vCPU for memory-intensive workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4a-highmem-16-lssd is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM. This configuration establishes a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, designed to support memory-intensive applications without the overhead of excess compute cores. The instance features dedicated CPU allocation for predictable performance, though it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, with both fields specified as none or zero. It also includes zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This resource profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads constrained by memory capacity rather than raw processing power or disk I/O. It is suited for in-memory databases, caching systems, and enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity.
