c4a-standard-8 by Google Cloud Platform

A balanced general-purpose virtual machine offering dedicated compute cores and proportional memory for stable, non-accelerated workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of system memory. Operating on the x86_64 CPU architecture, it provides a balanced resource allocation of 4.0 GB of RAM per core. This instance does not include bundled local storage or integrated graphics processing units, making it dependent on network-attached storage for data persistence. With dedicated CPU allocation, it ensures predictable processing power for workloads. It is designed without complimentary public IPv4 addresses, requiring external network configuration. The hardware profile is optimized for general-purpose applications, web serving, containerized deployments, and development environments that require a stable balance of compute and memory resources without specialized hardware accelerators.
