Compute Engine · $4593.96/mo (961 GB RAM, 40 vCPU)
Google Cloud's m1-ultramem-40 is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 512GB RAM with 64+ vCPU for $1,825-$2,406/mo, roughly 60% cheaper, though the Google instance does provide 961GB RAM which is a step up in memory density. The real value gap widens when accounting for Google's easy-to-miss sustained-use discounts and per-GB egress billing.
