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.

Cloud Waste Scanner
Cloud Waste Scanner is a security-first cloud auditing platform built to uncover and eliminate wasted cloud spend without exposing sensitive infrastructure data. Operating as a 100% local application, it connects directly from your machine to major providers including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and dozens more. The system scans for unattached storage volumes, zombie load balancers, idle compute resources, retention drift in snapshots, and missing lifecycle policies that silently inflate cloud bills. By analyzing metrics such as CPU utilization, disk IOPS, and traffic activity, it minimizes false positives and highlights meaningful savings. Teams receive an actionable savings map within minutes, focused on cost impact rather than surface-level suggestions. Unlike SaaS competitors, Cloud Waste Scanner does not store IAM roles or credentials on external servers. Its lightweight, Rust-powered engine ensures fast scans without heavy runtime overhead. With trial and Pro plans available, organizations can start with summary insights and unlock detailed resource-level visibility and automation when ready.

CloudSteer
CloudSteer serves as a platform for automating cloud resources and optimizing costs specifically for AWS infrastructure, aimed at streamlining cloud operations by reducing the need for manual intervention in routine tasks. By facilitating automated scheduling of AWS services, such as the ability to pause, stop, and start EC2 instances and RDS databases according to time-based criteria, it effectively minimizes unnecessary spending while maximizing the efficiency of compute resources. Additionally, it features a centralized dashboard that enhances teams' visibility into their AWS environments, enabling effective tracking and organization of resources through user-friendly tag management and monitoring capabilities, which simplify compliance, reporting, and cost distribution. The design of CloudSteer prioritizes user-friendliness, allowing organizations to swiftly implement automation rules, access real-time usage data, and lower their operational burdens, ultimately leading to improved resource management and cost efficiencies. With CloudSteer, teams can not only optimize their cloud spending but also gain better control over their infrastructure management processes.
