Rolling out Google Cloud’s Compute-Optimized (C2) VMs to Everyone

📅 November 12, 2019 - Kinsta is always trying to push the boundaries when it comes to performance, and today we’re taking it to a whole other level. We are excited to announce that we are moving to Google Cloud Platform’s (GCP) next-gen compute-optimized (C2) virtual machines. They will be the backbone of our infrastructure going forward, and the default for new WordPress sites that you spin up in available regions.

The new compute-optimized VMs (C2) offer the highest performance per core that GCP offers on Compute Engine and they are optimized for compute-intensive workloads. These machine types are equipped with Intel Scalable Processors (Cascade Lake) and up to 3.8 GHz sustained all-core turbo. They’ll be able to handle even the most demanding WordPress sites!

We’ve developed our WordPress hosting platform to be completely scalable, from our Starter plans all the way up to our Enterprise plans. This means we aren’t just moving a select few to this new hardware or limiting their use to our higher-tier plans. We’re making the new GCP machines available for everyone at Kinsta. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a casual blogger or Fortune 500 company, you’re going to reap the benefits this change has to offer.

How exactly will this impact you? Over the past month, we’ve been testing these new machines internally and have been blown away by their performance. It varies based on the type of site, but we are seeing performance improvements from 30% all the way up to 200%!
