Arm in the cloud definitely a trend now with Google Cloud’s embrace
. The Arm-based instance type supports up to 48 virtual CPUs per VM and 4GB of memory per vCPU, and the networking bandwidth can go up to 32 Gbps. It also comes with a"wide range of network-attached storage options.", which also exist for the AMD-based T2D instance: no support for extended memory, sole tenancy, nested virtualization, nor custom VM shapes.
Using the cloud provider's VM pricing guide, Ampere said a T2A instance provides up to 65 percent better price-performance than the Intel-based N2 instance for on-demand pricing.As the cloud world has been largely rooted in x86 chips for most of the time, it's right to wonder how Ampere's Arm-based Altra CPUs can handle a wide range of software.
, the company noted how"the Arm-based server ecosystem has rapidly matured over the last few years with open-source cloud native software stacks extensively tested and deployed on Ampere Altra-based servers.""For example, Ampere runs over 135 popular applications across 5 different cloud native infrastructures to ensure that our customers have confidence in the Ampere software environment across the marketplace," wrote Jeff Wittich, Ampere's chief product officer.
Google Cloud did manage to get testimonials from a few independent software developers who said porting their code to T2A has been easy.
