Compute Machine Series
The gp1 Series
General-purpose instances with dedicated cores, from 2 to 112 vCPUs. Every type is PVS-only — see volume storage classes for boot and data volumes, and instance rates for hourly pricing.
General Purpose Class
General Purpose instances run a 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio with dedicated cores and up to 25 Gbit/s of network bandwidth. Sized for web services, application servers, and databases under steady load.
