GCS Pricing

Cloud Storage Pricing, Bucket & Objects:


GCS Pricing



Cloud Storage pricing is based on the following Components:-

 

  1. Data Storage
  2. Data Processing 
  3. Network Usage 



Data Storage: — The amount of data stored in your Buckets. Storage rates vary depending on the storage class of your data and the locations of your buckets.



Data Processing: — The processing done by Cloud Storage, which includes operations charges any applicable retrieval fee and inter-region replication.


Network Usage: — The amount of data read from or moved between your buckets.


 For e.g. Data storage Cost: Iowa Locations


                                  Standard       Nearline         Coldline       Archive

Regional                  $0.020            $0.010            $0.004         $0.0012

Dual Region            $0.022            $0.011            $0.0044       $0.0014

Multi-region            $0.026            $0.010            $0.007         $0.004



Note:- Dual regions are billed to both Underlying regions at the above prices.


For e.g. Standard Storage in a dual-region comprised of Iowa and Oregon will be billed at $0.22 per GB per month for IOWA and $0.22 per GB per month for Oregon.



Data Processing fees: — Data processing costs consist of operation charges, which apply to all request made to Cloud Storage, retrieval fees, which apply to reading data stored in certain storage classes and Inter-region replication charges, which apply to data written to dual regions and multi-regions. 


Price is $0.05/10,000 Operations in standard Storage, & $0.010/10,000 Operations in Nearline and Coldline.


Retrieval / Network Usage fees:- Applies when you read, copy, move or rewrite object data or metadata that is stored using Nearline Storage, Coldline Storage or Archive Storage. 


Standard       Nearline          Coldline       Archive

$0/GB             $0.01/GB         $0.02/GB     $0.05/GB


— Default inter-region replication is free Turbo replication is $ 0.04/GB Chargeable.

— Data move within the same location is free.

— Data moves different locations on the same Continents is Chargeable.

— Data moves between different Continents in chargeable.





Bucket:-


— Bucket is like a folder for your objects.

— Using buckets - you can organise and Maintain access permissions.

— You cannot create Nested Buckets.

— Bucket has name, default storage class, geographic locations.

— Name and location can only be charged by deleting and Recreating.

— There is only one Google Cloud Storage namespaces, which means every bucket must have a unique name across the entire Google Cloud Storage Namespace.

— Object names must be unique only within a given bucket.



Object:-


— Object is file that you want to store.

— Can be upto 5 TiB.

— Object has data & metadata.

— No limit on number of objects in Buckets.

— Objects are immutable and you can Overwrite objects.



Turbo Replication:-


— Turbo replication is a cloud storage premium feature designed to a synchronously replicate newly written cloud storage objects associated with any insert, rewrite, copy or compose operation-regardless of object size to a separate  region within a target of 15 minutes.
