Zorluk: OrtaEstimating GCP Costs with the Pricing Calculator

A healthtech enterprise is modeling monthly infrastructure expenses in the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator for a healthcare analytics solution. The architecture consists of Compute Engine VMs running continuous data processing jobs, Cloud Storage buckets for short-term and long-term log retention, and network egress to an external auditor. Which of the following statements accurately describe how cost estimation principles and discount mechanisms apply when configuring this estimate in the Pricing Calculator? (Select TWO.)

  1. Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) are automatically calculated and applied by the calculator for eligible Compute Engine VM instance types running for a significant portion of the billing month.Cevap
  2. Outbound data transfers from Google Cloud to an external non-Google Cloud destination incur egress costs and must be explicitly specified in the calculator.Cevap
  3. C
    Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) and Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) can be stacked simultaneously on the exact same Compute Engine vCPU and memory resources within the calculator.
  4. D
    Spot VMs configured in the calculator will receive Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) if they run continuously for more than 25% of the month.

Cevap

The correct statements are that Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) are automatically applied in the Pricing Calculator for eligible Compute Engine instances running for a significant portion of the month, and outbound network traffic to external non-GCP destinations incurs egress charges that must be explicitly entered into the calculator.
Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) automatically accrue when eligible Compute Engine instances run for more than 25% of a billing month, and the pricing calculator reflects this baseline behavior. Furthermore, data egress to external non-GCP destinations carries network usage fees that must be manually input into the estimator for complete budget planning.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Compute Engine discount behaviors in the GCP Pricing Calculator
Recognize that Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) automatically apply to eligible on-demand workloads running continuously, while Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) override SUDs rather than stacking.
GCP discount logic prevents double-dipping; CUD rates take precedence over SUD rates on committed resources.
2
Evaluate network egress estimation requirements
Identify that data transferred out of Google Cloud network boundaries to external locations incurs egress pricing and must be explicitly estimated.
Ingress traffic is generally free, but external internet egress is a billable item that must be included for accurate total cost calculations.
3
Verify Spot VM discount eligibility
Confirm that Spot VMs are exempt from SUDs and CUDs because they already receive up to 60-91% off standard on-demand pricing.
Spot instances feature dynamic pricing without additional sustained or committed use discount layers.
