This is good to know, I was running into the problem of not having the right instance type for my workload before. We ended up changing up our stack to make it fit better on AWS.

That's pretty annoying ... happened to us as well though. We had a requirement for PostgreSQL with 512GB of RAM. Can't do that on AWS, so we had to shard the database.
To be fair, GCE tops at 208 GB RAM currently, so you won't get your instance type there as well.
Wow .. that's even lower than AWS (max is 244GB): http://www.ec2instances.info/
