Sustained use discounts
- Automatic discounts for running VM instances for significant portion of the billing month
- Example: If you use N1, N2 machine types for more than 25% of a month, you get a 20% to 50% discount on every incremental minute.
- Discount increases with usage (graph)
- No action required on your part! Automatically applied by the platform itself
- Applicable for instances created by Google Kubernetes Engine and Google Compute EngineGoogle Compute EngineGCP service used to provision and manage virtual machines * Create and manage lifecycle of Virtual Machine (VM) instances * Associated with a project Load balancing* and *auto scaling* for multiple VM instances Attach storage** (& network storage) to your VM instances * Manage network connectivity and configuration for your VM instances Setup Billing Live Migration & Availability Policy Scenarios Similar to AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines Status: #idea Tags: gcp, google-cloud-engineer,
