Google Axion C4A is a family of Arm-based virtual machines built on Google’s custom Axion CPU, which is based on Arm Neoverse-V2 cores. Designed for high-performance and energy-efficient computing, these virtual machines offer strong performance for modern cloud workloads such as CI/CD pipelines, microservices, media processing, and general-purpose applications.
The C4A series provides a cost-effective alternative to x86 virtual machines while leveraging the scalability and performance benefits of the Arm architecture in Google Cloud.

CircleCI is a cloud-based Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform that automates the process of building, testing, and deploying software.
It integrates with popular version control systems like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, and allows developers to define custom workflows in a .circleci/config.yml file using the YAML syntax.
CircleCI supports multiple platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, and offers advanced features like parallelism, caching, and matrix builds to speed up pipelines and improve efficiency.
It is widely used for automating tests, running builds, deploying applications, and ensuring code quality in modern development workflows. Learn more from the CircleCI official website and its documentation .
