A cloud architect is using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to model the monthly expense of a data transformation pipeline running in us-central1 for a 30-day month (730 hours). The architecture specifies the following components:
- 5 `n2-standard-4` VM instances operating 24/7 at an un-discounted rate of 0.04 per GB per month.
- 500 GB of network egress from us-central1 to another North American region at $0.12 per GB per month.
Assuming no additional fees or taxes, what is the estimated total monthly cost in USD for this workload?
Cevap: 402.8 USD
Cevap
The estimated total monthly cost for this architecture is $402.80 USD.
To accurately estimate GCP costs with the Pricing Calculator, compute instance hours are first calculated () and multiplied by the base hourly rate to reach . Applying the 55% Committed Use Discount results in (). Standard Persistent Disk storage () and network egress () are added without CUD discounts, yielding a total monthly cost of USD.
