M4N VM family, now GA: Highest per-core IOPS and throughput for I/O and memory-bound workloads
Google Cloud announced general availability of the M4N VM family, offering up to 1 million IOPS and 25 GiB/s storage bandwidth for high‑memory, I/O‑intensive workloads. The announcement cites 20% lower TCO for Oracle databases and a 26:1 memory‑to‑core ratio, though performance depends on Hyperdisk Extreme pairing.
