Windows Server images

Public images for several versions of Windows Server are available in either the Server Core configuration or the Server with Desktop Experience configuration. Both configurations are available at the following prices:

• $0.02 USD/hour for f1-micro and g1-small machine types
• $0.04 USD per core/hour for all other machine types

Standard machine types, high-CPU machine types, and high-memory machine types are charged based on the number of CPUs. For example, n1- standard-4, n1-highcpu-4, and n1-highmem-4 are machine-types with 4 vCPUs, and are charged at $0.16 USD/hour (4 x $0.04 USD/hour).

Windows Server images are charged a 1 minute minimum. After 1 minute, Windows images are charged in 1 second increments. SQL Server images are charged a 10 minute minimum. After 10 minutes, SQL Server images are charged in 1 minute increments.

SQL Server images

SQL Server images incur costs in addition to the cost for Windows Server images and the cost for the selected machine type.

• $0.399 USD per core/hour for SQL Server Enterprise
• $0.1645 USD per core/hour for SQL Server Standard
• $0.011 USD per core/hour for SQL Server Web
• No additional charge for SQL Server Express

Microsoft SQL Server licensing requires a core license to be assigned to each virtual CPU on your virtual machine instance, with a four core minimum for each instance. Instances with fewer than 4 vCPUs will be charged for SQL Server at 4 x $0.1645 USD/hour ($0.658 USD/hour) to comply with these requirements. For instances with 4 or more vCPUs, Compute Engine charges you for Microsoft SQL Server licenses in increments of 2. However, instances with a custom machine type will be charged for the number of SQL Server licenses that is equal to the number of vCPUs.

Google recommends that you do not use SQL Server images on f1- micro or g1-small machine types based on Microsoft's minimum hardware and software recommendations.

Unlike other premium images, SQL Server images are charged a 10 minute minimum. After 10 minutes, SQL Server images are charged in 1 minute increments.

Load balancing and forwarding rules

The following applies to all types of load balancing and forwarding rules (protocol forwarding).

Item	Price per Unit (USD)	Pricing Unit
First 5 forwarding rules		Per Hour
Per additional forwarding rule		Per Hour
Ingress data processed by load balancer		Per GB

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

Load balancing ingress and egress charges

• The Load balancing and forwarding table above contains the charge for ingress data processed by load balancers.
• Normal egress rates are charged for traffic outbound from a load balancer.
• There is no additional load balancer egress cost beyond normal egress rates.

Forwarding rules charges

Compute Engine charges for forwarding rules that are created for load balancing or other uses of forwarding rules.

The following examples use US pricing:

Up to 5 forwarding rules you create are charged at $0.025/hour. For example, if you create one forwarding rule, you will be charged $0.025/hour. If you have 3 forwarding rules, you will still be charged $0.025/hour. However, if you have 10 rules, you will be charged:

• 5 forwarding rules = $0.025/hour
• Each additional forwarding rule = $0.01/hour

$0.025/hour for 5 rules + (5 additional rules * $0.01/hour) = $0.075/hour

User-defined request headers and Google Cloud Armor charges

If a backend service has a Google Cloud Armor policy associated with it, you can use the user-defined request headers feature with that backend service without any additional charge for the user-defined request headers feature.

If a backend service does not have a Google Cloud Armor policy associated with it, the charges are $0.75 per million HTTP(S) requests sent to those backend services that use the user-defined request headers feature.

These charges become effective after the user-defined request headers feature becomes available in General Availability (GA).

Network Telemetry

Network logs generate charges. You are charged for the following products:

• VPC flow logs
• firewall rule logs
• NAT logging (starting at NAT logging GA. No charge for logs generation during beta.)

Log generation	Price
0–10 TB per month	0.50/GB
10–30 TB per month	0.25/GB
30–50 TB per month	0.10/GB
>50 TB per month	0.05/GB

Traffic through external IP addresses

When you send traffic between virtual machines through the external IP addresses, it will be charged as follows:

• Traffic sent between the external IP address of two virtual machines in the same region will be charged as Egress between zones in the same region, even if the virtual machines are in the same zone.
• Traffic sent between the external IP address of two virtual machines in different regions within the US will be charged as Egress between regions within the US.
• Traffic sent between the external IP address of two virtual machines in different regions, not including traffic between US regions, will be charged at Internet Egress pricing.

It is not possible to charge traffic through the external IP address of two virtual machine instances in the same zone as Egress to the same zone because Compute Engine cannot determine the zone of a virtual machine through the external IP address.

External IP address pricing

If you reserve a static external IP address but do not use it, you will be charged for the IP address according to the table below. If you reserve a static external IP address and use it with a Compute Engine resource, such as VM instance or a forwarding rule, the address is considered in use and you will not be charged for it.

Type	Price/Hour
Static IP address (assigned but unused)
Static and ephemeral IP addresses in use on standard VM instances *Starting January 1st, 2020, you will be charged $0.004 per hour.	No charge*
Static and ephemeral IP addresses in use on preemptible VM instances *Starting January 1st, 2020, you will be charged $0.002 per hour.	No charge*
Static and ephemeral IP addresses attached to forwarding rules	No charge

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

VPN
