Not quite sure how to calculate it, but a n2-highmem-128 instance running at near peak for 24 hours surely uses more electricity than the energy required to heat a dozen or two gallons of water per day.

- frankchn 4y ago64 cores and close to 1 TB of RAM will probably consume not more than 2.5 kW or so based on available TDP/power consumption figures. In 24 hours it consumes about the same amount of energy (2.5kW * 24h = 60 kWh) as charging a Model 3 LR's battery from 0 to 75%. So definitely more than heating up two dozen gallons of water even to boiling temperature (8 kWh), but still within the realm of household consumption with EVs.
