A GCP Compute Engine is an Infrastructure as a Service that enables users to launch virtual machines (VMs) on demand.
- Context:
- It can be for applications that require more control over the underlying infrastructure (such as long-running applications or applications that need to be highly customized).
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, Google Cloud Datalab.

- Deployment: Compute Engine requires you to create and manage virtual machines (VMs). Cloud Run is a serverless platform that allows you to deploy containers without having to worry about managing VMs.
- Scaling: Compute Engine scales VMs up or down based on CPU usage. Cloud Run scales containers automatically based on incoming traffic.
Cost: Compute Engine is billed by the hour, even if your VMs are idle. Cloud Run is billed by the request, so you only pay when your containers are running.
- Language support: Compute Engine supports a wide range of languages, including Python, Java, Go, and Node.js. Cloud Run supports a subset of these languages, but it is expanding its language support over time.
- Features: Compute Engine offers a wider range of features than Cloud Run, such as custom startup scripts, custom machine types, and persistent disks. Cloud Run is a simpler platform that focuses on running containers.
- In general, Compute Engine is a good choice for applications that require more control over the underlying infrastructure, such as long-running applications or applications that need to be highly customized. Cloud Run is a good choice for applications that are stateless and do not require a lot of configuration, such as microservices or event-driven applications.

- Google Compute Engine (GCE) is the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) component elo of Google Cloud Platform which is built on the global infrastructure that runs Google's search engine, Gmail, YouTube and other services. Google Compute Engine enables users to launch virtual machines (VMs) on demand. VMs can be launched from the standard images or custom images created by users. GCE users must authenticate based on OAuth 2.0 before launching the VMs. Google Compute Engine can be accessed via the Developer Console, RESTful API or command-line interface (CLI).
