n4a-highcpu-4 by Google Cloud Platform

A compute-focused virtual machine featuring dedicated processing cores and a balanced memory footprint for CPU-bound workloads.

Google Cloud Platform n4a-highcpu-4 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine within the n4a server family, configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of memory. This configuration provides a resource density of 2.0 GB of RAM per core, aligning it with compute-optimized workloads. The instance does not include local storage or integrated GPU hardware, and it comes with zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. By utilizing a dedicated CPU allocation, the server delivers stable processing performance without the variability of shared-core alternatives. This resource profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for CPU-bound applications that do not require large memory footprints or local disk storage. It is suitable for tasks such as web serving, batch processing, and containerized microservices.
