Bandwidth calculation

[Samoa yovan]

Dear All,

I'm new to google compute. I have created a VM with 7.5gb ram,2 cores.

Will google calculate the bandwidth utilization seperately for my usage or is it fixed if I take a dedicated VM for a month or a couple of months?

Thanks.

You might want to check out the pricing calculator:

You are charged strictly for egress traffic. There are no fees for instance to instance bandwidth within a zone; leaving a zone incurs charges. Depending on if it is to another zone in a region, to another GCE region, or the Internet, rates vary.

Samoa,

Pricing calculator as mentioned by Matt is a good way of estimating the cost for GCE instance. For detailed pricing information you can refer to GCE pricing link[1].

I hope that helps.

How do you generally control costs when you host an application on google compute? I could be charged any amount for egress even if someone abuses the APIs hosted on my server,. Aren't the egress costs totally out of our control?

Thanks.

Hello Godwin,

As general guidelines, you can use Google Compute Engine firewall to restrict incoming traffic [1]. If you wish to control outgoing traffic you can set up iptables or any 3rd party firewall in your VM [2]. You must also make sure your application is secured. i.e if you have port 80 opened and your application is not secured, a malicious attacker could run some code on your server. Certain languages like Java are run on the server by a client request. If the application is not shield, the server could run malicious code. I also would recommend to install Cloud monitoring tool [3]. You can configure alerts to be sent to your email in case egress traffic raised dramatically. 

I hope that helps.
