Would you rather have 1GB or 26GB of RAM?

Google adds new instances to Google Compute Engine.

n1-highmem-4-d 26GB $0.636

B8 1024MB $0.64

I'm sure they will improve Appengine too

[Emanuele Ziglioli]

I'll believe it when I see it

To be fair, you need to compare equivalent machines. n1-highmem-4-d has 1770 GB of local hard disk storage, while a B8 doesn't even have local storage, it has to write to Google Cloud, or to the datastore which are billed separately.

The best comparison is to the n1-highmem-4 instance, which has no local storage either. That costs $0.508 an hour (even cheaper!) compared to a B8's $0.64 an hour.

So basically, 26GB of RAM in Compute Engine is 13 cents an hour cheaper than 1GB of RAM in AppEngine. Something feels off here....

but you have the great APIs! ;)
that was at least the answer to the questions if GAE runs on gilded hardware.

But you paying separately for the APIs...
