Confusing Cloud Storage pricing?

[Alex Kerr]

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious (I assume so!) but this page: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/storage says:

"There are no charges associated with making calls to Google Cloud Storage. However, any data stored in Google Cloud Storage is charged the usual Google Cloud Storage data storage fees."

That clearly implies there are only storage charges.

and yet this page: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#operations-pricing obviously puts a cost on operations.

So, which is it, and could the docs be clarified please? If it makes any different I am using the default 'gs://' stream wrapper built in to App Engine PHP.

Thanks.

You are not charged for network egress or external API operations, as these all occur within Google's network infrastructure when accessing Cloud Storage from the PHP runtime. So the information in 'Storing Data in PHP' is accurate.
