Google Cloud compute: Compute Engine VMs, GKE Autopilot vs Standard, Cloud Run serverless containers, Cloud Functions 2nd gen.
Overview
Overview Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers a tiered compute stack from IaaS VMs to fully managed serverless. GCP differentiators: Preemptible/Spot VMs (91% discount, 30-second warning — longest in industry), GKE Autopilot (fully managed K8s, per-Pod billing), Cloud Run (container-native serverless, WebSocket/gRPC native support), and Custom machine types (exact vCPU/RAM ratios).
