Server Description
An arm64 virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio with dedicated vCPUs for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads.
Google Cloud Platform c4a-highmem-2 is an arm64-based virtual machine instance within the c4a family, configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, making it suitable for memory-intensive workloads that require minimal processing cores. The instance features a dedicated CPU allocation to prevent resource contention, though it lacks local storage and integrated GPU accelerators, requiring reliance on network-attached storage. With no complimentary public IPv4 addresses and a lack of specialized x86 vector instruction sets, this instance is designed for standard arm64 execution. It is positioned as a cost-efficient option for memory-bound applications, such as small-scale databases, caching systems, and lightweight web servers that benefit from a larger memory footprint without the overhead of additional vCPUs.
