c4d-highcpu-2 by Google Cloud Platform

A dedicated compute instance featuring a lean memory footprint and zero bundled storage for highly targeted, low-overhead workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4d-highcpu-2 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine instance configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 3.0 GB of system memory. This configuration provides a low memory-to-core ratio of 1.5 GB per vCPU, making it suitable for CPU-bound tasks that do not require large memory footprints. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, meaning all storage needs must be met via network-attached volumes. This resource profile is designed for cost-efficient execution of lightweight compute workloads, such as microservices, small batch processing, and basic web serving. By omitting bundled storage and GPUs, the instance minimizes resource overhead for targeted, low-memory deployments.
