I recently visited the google cloud pricing page and had a hard time making any sense of it all. The pricing isn't at all clear. DigitalOcean on the other hand, you take one glance at their pricing page and know exactly what your getting. Google can learning something from that.
- spangry 10y agoThank god I'm not the only one. I keep hearing about how opaque AWS pricing is compared to GCP, yet I personally cannot make any sense of google's pricing. It's difficult to explain, but I struggle ti figure out how much I'll be paying over, say, a month for a GCE instance. It seems like there are too many variables to keep in my head. But I'm just a tinkerer/hobbyist. So maybe the reason is because I don't have a clear idea of what my monthly utilisation is going to look like, or whether it's going to be consistent. I imagine this would be much clearer for those running businesses. I dunno...
- manigandham 10y agoGCP pricing is far simpler than AWS - just visit any of the product pages to see the unit costs. And they have a calculator: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/ https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/ If you're talking about Compute Engine utilization for billing discounts, they just mean how long you have it running continuously over the course of a month.
