f1-micro FAQ
How much does f1-micro cost?
f1-micro costs $0.0076 per hour on demand with Linux in Iowa (us-central1), about $5.548 per month. Across 28 regions the Linux on-demand price ranges from $0.0076 in Iowa to $0.0118 in São Paulo. Spot VM capacity costs $0.00068 per hour (91% less), but can be reclaimed. A 1-yr Committed use commitment brings it to $0.00532 per hour. With Windows it costs $0.0306 per hour.
How many vCPUs and how much memory does f1-micro have?
f1-micro has 1 vCPUs and 0.6 GiB of memory (0.6 GiB per vCPU), running on Intel Broadwell, Intel Haswell, Intel Ivy Bridge, Intel Sandy Bridge, Intel Skylake. It is a general purpose machine type in the N1 family with a burstable (shared) CPU.
What are the equivalents of f1-micro on other clouds?
The closest matches by vCPU, memory, CPU architecture and instance class are on AWS, t2.nano (1 vCPU, 0.5 GiB, $0.0058/hour in US East (N. Virginia)); on Akamai, Nanode 1GB (1 vCPU, 1 GiB, $0.0075/hour in Newark, NJ); on Vultr, vc2-1c-0.5gb-v6 (1 vCPU, 0.5 GiB, $0.003/hour in New Jersey).
Is f1-micro burstable?
Yes. f1-micro shares physical CPU cores and is designed for workloads that are idle most of the time and occasionally need full CPU. Sustained high CPU use can be throttled or cost extra, so pick a general purpose size with dedicated vCPUs for steady load.
