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.

StormForge
StormForge drives immediate benefits for organization through its continuous Kubernetes workload rightsizing capabilities — leading to cost savings of 40-60% along with performance and reliability improvements across the entire estate.
As a vertical rightsizing solution, Optimize Live is autonomous, tunable, and works seamlessly with the HPA at enterprise scale. Optimize Live addresses both over- and under-provisioned workloads by analyzing usage data with advanced ML algorithms to recommend optimal resource requests and limits.
Recommendations can be deployed automatically on a flexible schedule, accounting for changes in traffic patterns or application resource requirements, ensuring that workloads are always right-sized, and freeing developers from the toil and cognitive load of infrastructure sizing.
