Zorluk: OrtaEstimating GCP Costs with the Pricing Calculator

A cloud administrator is using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to project monthly compute costs for a dedicated batch worker cluster in `us-central1`. The cluster consists of 4 `n2-standard-4` Compute Engine virtual machine instances running continuously for 730 hours per month. The un-discounted baseline rate for an `n2-standard-4` instance in this region is $0.20 per hour. To lower operational costs, the organization purchases a 1-year Committed Use Discount (CUD) covering these VM resources, which grants a 35% discount off the standard hourly rate. Assuming no other infrastructure or networking fees apply, what is the total estimated monthly cost in USD for this 4-instance cluster after applying the 1-year Committed Use Discount?

Cevap: 379.6 USD

Cevap

The total estimated monthly cost for running the 4 Compute Engine instances with the 1-year Committed Use Discount applied is $379.60 USD.
The total monthly cost calculation multiplies the number of VM instances (4) by the total operational hours in a standard month (730 hours) and the base hourly rate (0.20/hr),resultinginanun−discountedbaselineof0.20/hr), resulting in an un-discounted baseline of 584.00. Applying the 35% Committed Use Discount results in paying 65% of the baseline cost (584.00×0.65),whichyieldsanestimatedtotalof584.00 × 0.65), which yields an estimated total of 379.60 USD.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total instance-hours required for the month
2,920 instance-hours
Running 4 virtual machines continuously for 730 hours yields 4 × 730 = 2,920 total hours.
2
Calculate the total un-discounted baseline cost
$584.00 USD
Multiplying 2,920 total instance-hours by the standard hourly rate of 0.20yields0.20 yields 584.00.
3
Apply the 1-year Committed Use Discount (35% off)
$379.60 USD
The effective price factor after a 35% discount is 1 - 0.35 = 0.65. Multiplying 584.00by0.65gives584.00 by 0.65 gives 379.60 USD.
