Moore's Law for Google Compute Engine: more power for the same money
Good morning again for all users of cloud products!
Since May 18, 2015, computing and product launches in Google Compute Engine have become even more profitable:
If we analyze the new prices together with our automatic discount system, per-minute billing , the absence of fines for changing the type of instance, and the absence of the requirement to issue long-term subscriptions, it becomes clear why our offer leads the market in price / performance ratio.
Exact updated cost published on the site. For those interested, the dynamics of price changes of the instance n1-standard-1:
Regarding the cost in November 2013, currently the price of computing power has more than doubled.

If your computational tasks are flexible enough to run on a large number of short-lived instances, then you can save up to 70% using displaced instances. These instances are no different from normal ones, except that the duration of one instance is limited to 24 hours (and maybe even shorter), and availability depends on supply and demand.
Since these are resources that would otherwise just stand idle, we provide them at an extremely low price. Our customers, such as Descartes Lab , have already appreciated the advantages of a novice for performing such tasks as, for example, Hadoop MapReduce, rendering, financial analysis, and for other computationally complex tasks.
Unlike offers from other cloud providers, the cost of displaced instances in Google Compute Engine is fixed, so you can easily predict the costs of using them. The exact cost of each type of instance in preemptive mode is also available on our website .
For example, for the same instance n1-standard-1, the new regular price is $ 0.050 / hour, and for the displaced one is $ 0.015 / hour, which is 70% lower.
We try to be a leader in price / performance ratio. Using a combination of discounts for the duration of the instance's activity period, the absence of a requirement to purchase any amount in advance, as well as per-minute billing, provides significant savings for real-world applications.
Imagine a typical web application or mobile app backend. Development and test environments consume uneven resources throughout the day. The industrial environment handles real user traffic, with its daily cycle of recessions and load rises, constant growth throughout the life of the application, and significantly higher consumption than the development environment. By quickly starting and stopping the development environment, you can benefit from per-minute billing, and the industrial environment will save up to 30% of the instance cost simply by regular work, and you will not need to make any advance payment in advance.
It is this friendly pricing policy that leads to savings of up to 40% compared with other clouds on the market in real-world tasks. Our Total Cost of Ownership Calculator allows you to evaluate how various combinations of settings for development and industrial environments affect the total cost of hosting a real application in the cloud.
Of course, for your application, the numbers may differ in one direction or another. So just count how much your app will cost, run it in the Google cloud. You can also take advantage of our special offer, and just try your application on our cloud for free!
Since May 18, 2015, computing and product launches in Google Compute Engine have become even more profitable:
- Reduced prices for cloud instances (Google Compute Engine Instance):
- There is a new type of “preemptive” instances that can be used for batch processing of data in a short time at a very low fixed price.
Instance prices reduced:
- Standard: -20%
- High Memory: -15%
- High CPU: -5%
- Small: -15%
- Micro: -30%

The cost of running many tasks on the Google Cloud Platform is 40% lower than in other clouds
