c4n-highmem-4 by Google Cloud Platform

An x86_64 virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.75 GB per dedicated vCPU for memory-intensive workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4n-highmem-4 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine within the c4n server family, configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 31.0 GB of RAM. This configuration yields a high memory-to-core ratio of 7.75 GB per vCPU, making it suitable for memory-constrained workloads that do not require extensive compute scaling. The instance features dedicated CPU allocation to prevent resource contention, though it lacks local storage and integrated GPU accelerators. Consequently, all storage operations rely on network-attached volumes. This instance is designed for workloads such as small database deployments, caching systems, and memory-intensive application servers where resource density and memory capacity are prioritized over raw CPU core counts or local disk performance.
