You want replication and/or geo-redudancy with that? Now we're talking $$$ :D
- boulos 11y agoTo clarify, we don't do that on Compute Engine. The number of IOPS you get is tied to the volume size for Persistent Disk. You choose between the two flavors (SSD and regular) and then size your disk. That does mean you have to buy more GiB than you "need" if you want to go faster, but PD is much cheaper than "bigger VM" in most cases. Disclosure: I work on Compute Engine.
- mrmondo 11y agoSo lets say... how much would say a 2TB volume providing a consistent minimum of 100,000 random 4k write IOP/s that's available across multiple VMs at once and must be highly available at say 99.9% cost? * Note: I went to use Compute Engine's cost calculator but it appeared the site was down / under heavy load?
