Zorluk: OrtaEstimating GCP Costs with the Pricing Calculator

A financial technology company is planning to migrate an automated compliance auditing pipeline to Google Cloud. The team is using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to establish a baseline monthly cost estimate. The workload requires Compute Engine virtual machines running continuously 24/7, persistent storage for raw transaction logs, and regular data exports sent to an external auditor's system. Which of the following parameters must be factored into the pricing calculator to obtain an accurate baseline cost estimate? (Select TWO.)

  1. Compute Engine machine specifications (vCPUs and RAM) alongside applicable sustained use discounts or committed use discounts for 24/7 operations.Cevap
  2. Persistent Disk storage capacity and performance tier, along with estimated outbound external network egress data transfer volume.Cevap
  3. C
    Provisioning the entire 24/7 baseline pipeline on Spot VMs to guarantee fixed monthly compute cost caps.
  4. D
    Automated budget alert actions that stop Compute Engine instances directly when the calculated budget cap is reached.

Cevap

Accurate pricing estimation requires including Compute Engine machine specs with applicable Sustained Use or Committed Use Discounts for continuous workloads, as well as accounting for Persistent Disk storage costs and external network egress transfer volumes.
To create a comprehensive baseline estimate using the GCP Pricing Calculator, architects must account for VM machine types with continuous usage discounts (SUDs/CUDs) and all secondary costs such as attached Persistent Disk storage tiers and internet/external network egress volumes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate compute execution profile and discounts
Identified that 24/7 continuous Compute Engine instances qualify for automatic Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) or Committed Use Discounts (CUDs), which must be modeled in the pricing calculator.
Baseline compute pricing without continuous usage discounts will overestimate the actual monthly VM cost.
2
Identify auxiliary billable resource components
Included persistent disk provisioned storage capacity/type and external egress network traffic.
Google Cloud charges separately for disk volume provisioned and network egress traffic leaving Google Cloud network per gigabyte.
