Compute Engine can be used with two different processor variants: vCPU or Dedicated Core instances.
vCPU servers
Our vCPU servers are a cost-effective instance type. They offer perfect performance and scalability for a wide range of workloads and come at an affordable price.
Typical applications include:
- Databases
- Development and test environments
- Websites with low traffic
- Basic software services
- Cache servers
- eCommerce platforms
Dedicated Core servers
With Dedicated Core virtual machines, you benefit from a dedicated physical core with two hyper-threads.
They are particularly suited for performance-intensive applications and workloads that have high traffic or processing demands and require constant high-performance CPU provisioning, including:
- Extensive databases
- Data processing
- Real time analyses
- High-performance computing
- Big data modelling
- ERP systems
- Real-time applications
- High-traffic websites
