Let’s dive into the details!
New ve2 Node Types for Enhanced Performance
New ve2 node types are now available in australia-southeast1, us-central1, and us-east4 regions, providing more options to tailor your environment to your specific needs:
- HCI Node Types:
ve2-standard-96ve2-mega-96ve2-mega-128
- Storage-Only Node Types:
ve2-standard-sove2-mega-so
These new nodes offer increased compute power, memory capacity, and storage performance, enabling you to run even the most demanding workloads with ease.
Expanded Zone Availability for Greater Resilience
ve2 nodes are now available in two additional zones:
- Sydney, Australia, APAC (

This expansion provides more options for deploying your VMware workloads closer to your users and ensuring high availability with stretched clusters.
More Licensing Options for Increased Flexibility

- Fully Licensed Commitments: Ideal for predictable workloads and long-term cost savings.
- Fully Licensed Convertible Commitments: Provide flexibility to convert to on-demand pricing if your needs change.
- Portable License Commitments: Bring your own licenses to Google Cloud for greater cost control.
These new licensing options cater to a wider range of needs and budgets, giving you more control over your cloud investment.
