GCP -PRICING MODEL

 

PREEMPTABLE VMs: This is based on highest bidder. You will have 91% discount but can be terminated sooner due to system demand. Preemptable VM's always stop after 24hours, and its fully managed by GCP. This pricing is only recommended for fault-tolerant application. You have to be very careful because with this pricing model, you want to ensure that the workload can accept disruption at anytime. You cannot run critical workload. 
In order to avoid this  24hours termination, you an set up a Google Cloud Scheduler and integrating with Google Cloud Function intelligence and pub-sub for automation and alert, so it can create an on demand instance. 


Spot Instance: This is based on bidding. Spot instances go above 24hours before termination. Spot instances has all the advantages of preemptable VMs and no limitation of operation. 

Committed Used Discount: This is one of the advantage to provision your resources based on discount. When it comes to time frame you literally need a particular resource for a period of time, based on this, you can enjoy up to 70% discount for cost saving. 

There are two types of committed used discount:

a. Resources based CUDs:  This is the amount compute optimize workload  which you're getting into commitment for a particular period of time. You need to make sure you're consistent, and you pay a fine if you default the resources you signed-up for. Google cloud grant A year and 3 years within this discount. 

b. Spent based CUDs: This is the amount of money you're willing to spend per hour for a particular resources for a specific duration of time. For example, You can set up a figure( budget) and google cloud can provide you what is within that range of services and a discount will be granted by google cloud. And if you're not consistent within this region budget, you'll pay a fine. 

Sustained Used Discount: By default you can leverage on this pricing model. So, whenever you use applicable resource for more than fourth of a billing month you automatically receive discount for every incremental hour when you continually use the resource.
