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.

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that enables applications to communicate asynchronously using messaging patterns such as queues, publish/subscribe, and routing. It acts as an intermediary that reliably receives, stores, and forwards messages between producers and consumers.
RabbitMQ helps decouple application components, improve scalability, and increase fault tolerance by ensuring messages are not lost and can be processed independently. It supports multiple messaging protocols, including AMQP, and provides features such as message durability, acknowledgments, routing via exchanges, and flexible delivery guarantees.
RabbitMQ is widely used for event-driven architectures, background job processing, microservices communication, and notification systems. It integrates easily with many programming languages and platforms.
