Google Cloud Compute Engine overview

What is Google Cloud Compute Engine?

Google Cloud Compute Engine delivers configurable virtual machines running in Google’s data centers with access to high-performance hardware, fast networking, and simple management of resources such as persistent disks, memory, and load balancing. Compute Engine virtual machines can live-migrate between host systems without rebooting, which keeps applications running even when host systems require maintenance.
