n4a-highmem-4 by Google Cloud Platform

An x86_64 virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio of eight gigabytes per dedicated vCPU for memory-bound workloads.

Google Cloud Platform n4a-highmem-4 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine within the n4a instance family, configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of system memory. This allocation provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, positioning the server for memory-demanding tasks. The instance does not feature local storage or GPU accelerators, requiring external network storage for data persistence. It also includes zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile is designed for workloads that require substantial memory capacity relative to compute resources without the need for local disk performance or graphics processing. It is suitable for in-memory databases, caching systems, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.
