Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS).
Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.

Spot Ocean
Spot Ocean empowers users to harness the advantages of Kubernetes while alleviating concerns about infrastructure management, all while offering enhanced cluster visibility and significantly lower expenses.
A crucial inquiry is how to effectively utilize containers without incurring the operational burdens tied to overseeing the underlying virtual machines, while simultaneously capitalizing on the financial benefits of Spot Instances and multi-cloud strategies.
To address this challenge, Spot Ocean is designed to operate within a "Serverless" framework, effectively managing containers by providing an abstraction layer over virtual machines, which facilitates the deployment of Kubernetes clusters without the need for VM management.
Moreover, Ocean leverages various compute purchasing strategies, including Reserved and Spot instance pricing, and seamlessly transitions to On-Demand instances as required, achieving an impressive 80% reduction in infrastructure expenditures.
As a Serverless Compute Engine, Spot Ocean streamlines the processes of provisioning, auto-scaling, and managing worker nodes within Kubernetes clusters, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure.
This innovative approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also enables organizations to optimize their cloud spending while maintaining robust performance and scalability.
