Google Cloud announced the general availability of C4A virtual machines (VMs), the first VM series based on its custom-designed Arm CPUs, Axion. These VMs offer up to 10% better price-performance than current-generation Arm-based instances from other leading cloud providers. C4A VMs are well-suited for various general-purpose workloads, including web and application servers, containerized microservices, open-source databases, in-memory caches, data analytics engines, media processing, and AI inference. Leveraging Titanium offload technology and advanced maintenance capabilities, C4A delivers up to 65% better price-performance and up to 60% better energy efficiency than comparable x86-based instances. Key Google services like Bigtable, Spanner, BigQuery, F1 Query, Blobstore, Pub/Sub, Google Earth Engine, and YouTube Ads have already adopted Axion-based servers in production environments. C4A VMs are available for use in Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Batch, and Dataproc, with preview availability in Dataflow and upcoming support for CloudSQL, AlloyDB, and other services. They support common Linux distributions like Container-Optimized OS, RHEL, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, and more. Arm-compatible software and solutions are available on Google Cloud Marketplace, and migration support for Arm-based instances is now in preview within the Migrate to Virtual Machines service. C4A VMs are offered in Standard, High Memory, and High CPU configurations, providing flexibility for diverse workload needs. They also offer robust connectivity and storage performance with High-Bandwidth Networking (up to 100 Gbps with Tier_1 networking) and Hyperdisk storage (up to 350k IOPS and 5 GB/s throughput).
