g1-small FAQ
How much does g1-small cost?
g1-small costs $0.0257 per hour on demand with Linux in Iowa (us-central1), about $18.76 per month. Across 28 regions the Linux on-demand price ranges from $0.0257 in Iowa to $0.04 in São Paulo. Spot VM capacity costs $0.00231 per hour (91% less), but can be reclaimed. A 1-yr Committed use commitment brings it to $0.018 per hour. With Windows it costs $0.0487 per hour.
How many vCPUs and how much memory does g1-small have?
g1-small has 1 vCPUs and 1.7 GiB of memory (1.7 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 g1-small on other clouds?
The closest matches by vCPU, memory, CPU architecture and instance class are on AWS, t2.small (1 vCPU, 2 GiB, $0.023/hour in US East (N. Virginia)); on Azure, F1als v7 (1 vCPU, 2 GiB, $0.0605/hour in East US); on Akamai, Linode 2GB (1 vCPU, 2 GiB, $0.018/hour in Newark, NJ); on Vultr, vc2-1c-2gb (1 vCPU, 2 GiB, $0.014/hour in New Jersey).
Is g1-small burstable?
Yes. g1-small 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.
