n4a-standard-8 by Google Cloud Platform

A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated x86_64 compute cores and a standard memory-to-core ratio.

Google Cloud Platform n4a-standard-8 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM. With a balanced resource ratio of 4.0 GB of memory per core, this instance is designed for standard computing tasks. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, requiring external network storage for data persistence. The instance also lacks complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Given its balanced resource profile and dedicated CPU allocation, the n4a-standard-8 is suited for general-purpose workloads, including web serving, application hosting, and development environments that require a steady balance of compute and memory without the need for specialized hardware. Its resource density provides a cost-efficient option for standard business applications.
