GPU regions and zones

Compute Engine resources are hosted in multiple locations worldwide. These locations are composed of regions and zones. For more information, see Regions and zones.

Each zone offers a variety of GPU models and VMs can only use the GPUs available in that zone. GPUs are supported for N1 general-purpose, A3, A2, and G2 accelerator-optimized machine types.

Each accelerator-optimized machine type has a specific model of NVIDIA GPUs attached.

For VMs that use N1 machine types, you can attach T4, P4, P100 or V100 GPUs to the VM during, or after VM creation.

For example in asia-east1-a, you can create an N1 general purpose VM and attach either T4, V100, or P100 GPUs, but not a P4 GPU. In asia-east1-a, you can also create a G2 accelerator-optimized VMs that automatically has L4 GPUs attached to the VM, but not an A2 accelerator-optimized VM with their A100 80GB GPUs attached.

This document lists the availability of GPU models by regions and zones.

GPU availability by regions and zones

The following sortable table lets you select different options to see where GPU resources are available. You can search either by location or GPU machine type, or a combination of both.

In the following table, some machine types might have an asterisk (*) superscript appended to denote a limitation or restriction. For more information about the limitation or restriction, see Limitations and restrictions.

Programmatically view GPU regions and zones

You can also view the available regions and zones for GPUs by using gcloud CLI or REST. Similar to the previous table, you can use filters with these commands to restrict the list of results to specific GPU models or accelerator-optimized machine types. For more information, see View a list of GPU zones.

Limitations and restrictions

  • For A2 Standard machine types, the a2-megagpu-16g machine is only available in the following regions and zones:

    • Iowa, North America: us-central1-a,b,c,f
    • Netherlands, Europe: europe-west4-a,b
    • Singapore, APAC: asia-southeast1-c
