c4n-highmem-2 by Google Cloud Platform

An x86_64 cloud server configuration providing fifteen gigabytes of system memory to support memory-sensitive and low-compute workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4n-highmem-2 is an x86_64 architecture server instance configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 15.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.5 GB per vCPU. This instance does not feature local storage or integrated GPUs, requiring reliance on network-attached storage for data persistence. Designed for memory-intensive workloads that do not demand high CPU core counts, the c4n-highmem-2 provides a balanced, qualitatively cost-efficient profile for memory-sensitive operations. It is well-suited for small databases, caching layers, and lightweight application servers. The lack of local NVMe storage and dedicated GPUs represents a clear tradeoff, limiting its utility for high-speed local caching or hardware-accelerated parallel processing, but it remains highly efficient for memory-sensitive but compute-light workloads.
