Burstable compute instances for small or low-utilization applications

Burstable instances let you optimize your costs for workloads that typically have low CPU utilization with occasional spikes in usage, such as microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and test environments. A burstable instance is a VM instance that is able to sustain workloads running at a fraction of CPUs most of the time, and can burst up to the full CPUs for a limited amount of time.
