Zorluk: OrtaEstimating GCP Costs with the Pricing Calculator

A cloud architect at a gaming startup is using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to model monthly Compute Engine expenses for dedicated matchmaking backend servers that run continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The architect wants to evaluate cost reduction mechanisms for uninterrupted VM workloads without incurring a 1-year or 3-year committed financial obligation. Which pricing feature does the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator automatically factor in for sustained Compute Engine instance usage?

  1. Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs), which automatically apply discounted hourly rates when Compute Engine instances run for more than 25% of a billing month.Cevap
  2. B
    Committed Use Discounts (CUDs), which automatically apply maximum discounts to continuous workloads without requiring any contractual term agreements.
  3. C
    Spot VM provisioning pricing, which provides guaranteed low-cost pricing for continuous, fault-intolerant matchmaking server workloads.
  4. D
    Cloud Run tier discounts, which automatically scale down vCPU hourly rates for long-running Compute Engine virtual machines.

Cevap

Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs), which automatically apply discounted hourly rates when Compute Engine instances run for more than 25% of a billing month.
Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) are automatic discounts offered by Google Cloud for Compute Engine instances (such as N1, N2, and vCPUs/memory in supported machine families) when instances run for more than 25% of a billing month. The Google Cloud Pricing Calculator incorporates SUDs automatically into monthly workload estimates without requiring users to sign up for multi-year financial commitments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the workload requirements given in the scenario
The workload requires running Compute Engine VMs continuously (24/7) throughout the month without committing to a 1-year or 3-year term contract.
Understanding operational constraints helps narrow down applicable pricing models in GCP.
2
Evaluate GCP discount mechanisms available in the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator
Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) automatically reduce the incremental hourly cost of Compute Engine instances when used for more than 25% of a billing month, without any contractual commitments.
SUDs are automatic baseline discounts for uncommitted continuous Compute Engine usage.
3
Compare against incorrect alternatives
CUDs require a 1- or 3-year commitment contract. Spot VMs are preemptible and unfit for production matchmaking servers. Cloud Run is a separate serverless product.
Verifying constraints confirms that only automatic Sustained Use Discounts meet all requirements.
