Agent-friendly features
- Page pitches building AI apps and deploying agents on Google Cloud
- Compute Engine and AI APIs have monthly free usage
Security notes
- Free tier is limited to three US regions and tiny usage caps; egress beyond 1 GB/month is billed.
Security notes are what the provider states on the pages we read, or gaps we noticed. Treat vendor claims as claims, not audits.
Not verified or not checked
- e2-micro vCPU/RAM were not restated on the free-features page (it is a shared-core 1 GB-class instance on Google's machine-type docs, which we did not read).
