It seems a soft strategy to announce some products and pricing increase

when the messaging is unclear, assume bad news

Did you miss the links to the detailed per-product announcements at the bottom?

  Yeah pretty much, maybe they intent it to be as opaque as possible

It is announcement that: > Cloud storage and multi-region replication and inter-region access are changing in pricing. > The introduction of a lower cost option in archive snapshots for Persistent Disk pricing. > New pricing for Load Balancing (to bring it in line with other providers. Read: very likely AWS pricing) > A new price for Network Topology, now included in the price is Performance Dashboard and Network Intelligence Center. All without what the new prices will be so based on the fact that it is several services with varying prices based on usage it could be a substantial change or not much at all. Quite vague and unhelpful of a post by Google other than to give you a heads up to not be surprised about your bill in October.

    This is a much better page with a clearer picture of what is changing then the linked announcement. Thanks for sharing it.

    FWIW, one cost decrease actually also uses the word "increase": The amount of Always Free Internet egress will increase from 1 GB per month to 100 GB per month to each qualifying egress destination. But I don't know if 100xing the free egress offsets all the doubling storage costs...

I skimmed the announcement, couldn't immediately understand what is changing, and concluded from that that it's a price increase. Judging by the comments here, I was right.
