Disclosure: I work at Google on Google Cloud What kind of hardware architecture do you want? You can reserve CPU type easily (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/cpu-platforms https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/cpu-platforms), including if you need it to be "Anything newer than <x>". Also, sustained use discounts AUTOMATICALLY discount you (including binpacking a bunch of machine, so let's say you ran 4 machines for 7 days at the beginning of the month, you'd get the discount of running 1 machine for 28 days).
