Zorluk: KolayEstimating GCP Costs with the Pricing Calculator

An operations administrator is estimating monthly expenses in the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator for a Compute Engine virtual machine instance that will run continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Which pricing mechanism does Google Cloud automatically factor into the calculation for workloads running continuously for most of the billing month?

  1. A
    Spot VM discounted rates for uninterrupted high-availability web services
  2. Sustained Use Discounts automatically applied to eligible Compute Engine resourcesCevap
  3. C
    Coldline storage lifecycle discount rates applied directly to active persistent boot disks
  4. D
    Pre-purchased resource credit waivers that eliminate base hourly compute charges without minimum usage thresholds

Cevap

Sustained Use Discounts automatically applied to eligible Compute Engine resources
Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) are automatic discounts provided by Google Cloud for running specific Compute Engine resources for a significant portion of the billing month (more than 25%). The Pricing Calculator automatically incorporates these discounts when estimating costs for continuous 24/7 workloads.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the workload characteristics described in the scenario.
The Compute Engine virtual machine instance will run continuously 24/7 throughout the billing month.
Understanding usage duration determines which discount models apply.
2
Evaluate Google Cloud pricing rules for continuous workloads.
Compute Engine automatically applies Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) when an instance runs for more than 25% of a month.
SUDs require no upfront commitment or manual configuration; they are automatically calculated by the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
