Server Description
An arm64-based virtual machine featuring dedicated compute resources and a balanced memory-to-core ratio for efficient scale-out workloads.
The Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-2 is an arm64-based virtual machine instance within the c4a family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of system memory. This configuration provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, offering 4.0 GB of memory per core. The instance does not include local storage or integrated GPU accelerators, relying entirely on network-attached storage options. Built on ARM architecture, it delivers consistent compute performance with dedicated CPU allocation, making it a cost-efficient choice for scale-out workloads. The c4a-standard-2 is suited for general-purpose applications, microservices, lightweight web servers, containerized environments, and software development pipelines that benefit from ARM-native execution without requiring high-performance local disk I/O or specialized hardware coprocessors.
