Fuel your hungry applications with our new, larger virtual machines
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Do you have a hungry application, one that has an insatiable appetite for compute power? Great, because we have a solution to satisfy that appetite.
Today, we're making the beta of our new 32-vCPU virtual machines available for all of your compute heavy apps. You can choose from three new machine types, each with 32-vCPU’s and memory ranging from ~30GB to over 200GB.
The table below shows the configuration and pricing details, which demonstrate our belief that
cloud pricing should track to Moore's Law
.
It’s been fascinating to watch you, our customers, build amazing things on Google Cloud Platform. The landscape of applications often include some very compute and memory intensive components. From huge MySQL instances behind popular mobile applications and games, to the visual effects rendering software used in the production of most movies today, some components of your cloud application just run better with more compute or more memory (often both).
Fredrik Averpil, Technical Director at
Industriromantik
, a digital production company and early tester of our 32-vCPU machine types, said: "We get a solid 97-98% speedup from the 16-vCPU machine types on all jobs so far.
This is the best efficiency in scalability I've ever seen when talking about 3D rendering
."
To get started, visit the
Developers Console
and create a
new instance
with one of these 32-vCPU machine types, or check out our docs for
instructions on creating new virtual machines
using our gcloud command line tool. Please note that our 32-vCPU machine types are only available in our Ivy Bridge and Haswell
zones
.
Test out your most CPU and RAM intensive workloads, and let us know how they work for you. We’d love to have you fire up one of these new machines, open the throttle and see how expanded memory and compute power gives greater steam to your applications. You can contact us via our
feedback channels
