Compute Engine · $2681.57/mo (85 GB RAM, 12 vCPU)
Google Cloud's a2-highgpu-1g at $2,681.57/mo is a specialized GPU instance with limited direct equivalents, but several alternatives offer comparable or superior CPU/RAM at a fraction of the cost if your workload doesn't strictly require an A100 GPU. Be aware that GCP's hidden costs (egress, sustained-use discounts, cluster fees) can add 10-30% to your bill, while most alternatives bundle unlimited traffic.
Matches your 12 vCPU and exceeds RAM (64GB vs 85GB) at 1/26th the price with unlimited traffic and no egress charges.
Caveat: No GPU; quoted price is 24-month prepaid rate (1-month/12-month terms cost 30-50% more); fair-usage policy on traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
Includes an NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada GPU (20GB VRAM, not A100 but still professional-grade), 14 vCPU, 64GB RAM, and 3.84TB NVMe for 1/12th the price with 20TB included traffic.
Caveat: RTX 4000 Ada is lower-tier than A100 40GB; price excludes VAT and ~79 EUR setup fee; traffic overages billed beyond 20TB EU pool; price not re-confirmed this session.
12 vCPU, 48GB RAM, 600GB NVMe, 1 Gbit/s port, unlimited traffic at 1/49th the GCP price if GPU is not required.
Caveat: No GPU; 24-month prepaid pricing (1-month term ~$81/mo); fair-usage throttling on sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe, 99.99% SLA, and 2TB free outbound data transfer per month for 1/30th the price.
Caveat: No GPU; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB; Windows/RHEL licensing adds surcharges.
8 ARM vCPU, 48GB RAM, 99.95% SLA, and always-free tier eligibility for non-GPU workloads at 1/38th the price.
Caveat: No GPU; ARM architecture (not x86); Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Archive Storage has 90-day minimum retention penalty.
