Instead of Google Compute Engine
Google Compute Engine alternatives
Google Compute Engine runs self-managed virtual machines on Google infrastructure, with predefined or custom machine types from 1 to 96 vCPUs and up to 8.0 GB of memory per core. It provides Persistent Disk and Local SSD block storage, Linux and Windows images, automatic scaling through managed instance groups, and live migration within a zone. Confidential VMs encrypt data in use, while Shielded VMs defend against rootkits and bootkits. REST API control and connections with Cloud Storage, App Engine, BigQuery, and Google Kubernetes Engine support broader infrastructure work.

Its free tier is limited to one non-preemptible e2-micro VM in selected US regions, 30 GB-months of standard persistent disk, and 1 GB of monthly outbound transfer; GPUs and TPUs are excluded. Usage-based pricing varies by configuration, with several resources priced separately. Alternatives may suit you better when the goal is rehosting servers, planning a move, converting databases, or extracting applications into containers. Compare migration scope, source and destination support, monitoring, network requirements, operating systems, and whether free access or a trial covers the work.
