Choice is here, it’s compelling, and it’s good for cloud developers. It's time to move from legacy to a top-to-bottom cloud architecture. With Ampere, the processor, servers, software, and services are all Cloud Native. To get started, go to the Google Cloud Console and select T2A for your VMs. The Google Cloud Tau Ampere Altra-based T2A VMs are currently in preview in several Google Cloud regions - us-central (Iowa - Zone A,B,F), europe-west4 (Netherlands - Zone A,B,C) and asia-southeast1 (Singapore - Zone B,C) and will be generally available in the coming months. Additionally, Ampere has worked with the opensource Enterprise Linux teams within the Centos Stream and Rocky Linux communities to ensure both are also extensively tested and provide the best possible experience on Ampere Altra-based VMs. Both Canonical’s Ubuntu and Red Hat’s RHEL OSes have previously been certified for Ampere’s reference platforms. Ampere, in partnership with Google Cloud has spent time working with Enterprise and Open-Source Linux OS vendors and communities to ensure these operating systems are optimized for the Ampere Cloud Native Processors. The T2A VMs support the most popular Linux operating systems like RHEL, CentOS Stream, Ubuntu, and Rocky Linux. Our Solutions site features the results of this test regression suite and now contains daily results from Google Cloud Tau T2A as well. For example, Ampere runs over 135 popular applications across 5 different cloud native infrastructures to ensure that our customers have confidence in the Ampere software environment across the marketplace. The Arm-based server ecosystem has rapidly matured over the last few years with open-source Cloud Native software stacks extensively tested and deployed on Ampere Altra-based servers. In Google Cloud, the T2A VM instances outperform current generation x86 VMs by up to 31% and lead on price-performance by up to 65% using on-demand pricing guidance*. They are available in various configurations with up to 48 vCPUs.Ĭompelling Performance with Superior Energy EfficiencyĪmpere Altra Cloud Native Processors lead in performance for popular Cloud Native applications while running at lower power than legacy x86 processors. The Tau T2A VMs are designed from the ground up for predictable high performance and linear scalability using single-threaded cores, eliminating a range of noisy neighbor concerns. The Tau T2A VMs are designed to run scale-out Cloud Native workloads such and application servers, databases, Artificial Intelligence, video processing and more in an efficient manner. Building out this infrastructure with inherently Cloud Native technology delivers predictable and scalable performance to a wide variety of cloud service providers, digital service providers and digital-first enterprises.Įarlier today, Google Cloud announced a new class of Ampere Cloud Native Processor based Tau VMs to address these specific needs of the modern cloud applications. Ampere® Altra® Cloud Native Processors are the ideal CPUs to build out the high performance and high efficiency cloud. However, with increased focus on global sustainability and ESG goals, the energy efficiency of these infrastructure solutions has become just as important to cloud providers as performance and security. Cloud Service Providers have responded to this demand with a massive build out of datacenters and a broad portfolio of cloud services, making the cloud the preferred choice for businesses to scale-out applications. Over the last decade, the ever-increasing demand for compute capacity and digital transformation efforts has accelerated global spending on public cloud services.
