Get started with TensorFlow on Google Axion C4A

Explore Google Axion C4A Arm instances in Google Cloud

Google Axion C4A is a family of Arm-based virtual machines (VMs) that use Google’s custom Axion CPU, based on Arm Neoverse-V2 cores. Designed for high-performance and energy-efficient computing, these VMs 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 VMs while using the scalability and performance benefits of the Arm architecture in Google Cloud.
