ワークステーションへの電力供給や HVAC によるワークステーションの冷却にかかる費用は請求されません。また、物理的なワークステーションの構築、コンポーネントのアップグレード、RAM の追加、ディスクの交換などのために IT 専門のスタッフを雇う必要もありません。これらはすべて Google Cloudで管理されます。
仮想ワークステーションを選択する
仮想ワークステーションを作成する際は、CPU の数とタイプ、RAM の容量、ディスクのタイプとサイズ、GPU を接続するかどうかなどのリソース構成を選択できます。Windows や Linux などのオペレーティング システムの選択も可能です。

The concept of remote computing\ndates back to the 1960s with so-called\n[dumb terminals](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal).\nBut a virtual workstation that's built using modern cloud infrastructure is a\npowerful, economical alternative to an expensive workstation at the user's desk.\n\nWith a virtual workstation, there is no capital expense. You can customize the\nsize and power of the virtual workstation to the exact specifications required\nfor a particular task. You only pay for the resources used, when they're used,\nand you're billed by the second.\n\nYou don't pay for electricity to power the workstation or for the\n[HVAC](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC)\nto keep it cool. You also don't have to pay a staff of IT professionals to build\nphysical workstations, upgrade components, add RAM, or swap out disks; all of\nthis is managed by Google Cloud.\n\nChoose a virtual workstation\n----------------------------\n\nWhen you create a virtual workstation, you can choose from resource\nconfigurations such as number and type of CPUs, amount of RAM, type and size of\ndisk, and whether or not to attach GPUs. You can also choose your operating\nsystem, like Windows or Linux.\n\nYour intended workload can help you determine how to build your virtual\nworkstation. The following table lists options for creating a virtual\nworkstation.\n\nCreate a virtual workstation using Google Cloud Marketplace\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you don't want to build your own virtual workstation using one of the\ntutorials listed earlier, you can use a preconfigured virtual workstation\nsolution on\n[Cloud Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace).\nThese solutions offer a quick way to create a virtual workstation that has\nfeatures like graphics drivers and remote desktop software already installed."]]
