In their own words
Google Compute Engine
Google Compute Engine is an infrastructure-as-a-service product for running self-managed virtual machines on Google infrastructure. Choose a predefined machine type or configure a custom VM with 1 to 96 vCPUs and up to 8.0 GB of memory per core. Linux and Windows VMs are supported, with images including Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and Windows Server. Storage options include Persistent Disk and Local SSD. Managed instance groups can add VMs for peak load and replace underperforming instances; live migration can move a VM to another host in the same zone when its host goes down. Confidential VMs encrypt data in use, while Shielded VMs defend against rootkits and bootkits. The service integrates with Cloud Storage, App Engine, and BigQuery, and resources can be controlled through a REST-based API. Its free tier is free, within monthly limits and eligible US regions. Pay-as-you-go pricing is usage-based, with VM resources billed after a one-minute minimum in one-second increments.
