An organization is planning to deploy a new workload to Google Cloud. They need an accurate estimate of the likely costs of running the workload. How should the organization create this estimate?
A.
Use the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
B.
Deploy workload to test environment to observe costs.
C.
Use historic costs of an existing similar workload.
D.
Refer to pricing information and manually calculate an estimate.
A. Use the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
Explanation:
The Google Cloud Pricing Calculator is a tool provided by Google Cloud that allows organizations to accurately estimate costs for running workloads. Users can input specific configurations, such as the type of service, resource usage, and region, and the calculator provides a detailed cost breakdown.
This approach ensures accuracy and takes into account all relevant pricing variables, including discounts like sustained-use and committed-use discounts.
Why not the other options?
B. Deploy workload to test environment to observe costs:
While this provides real-world cost data, it is less efficient and may incur unnecessary expenses just to estimate costs. It is better to estimate costs beforehand using the pricing calculator.
C. Use historic costs of an existing similar workload:
Historic costs may not reflect the actual costs of the new workload if it differs in configuration, usage, or region. This method is less precise compared to using the pricing calculator.
D. Refer to pricing information and manually calculate an estimate:
Manually calculating costs using pricing information is time-consuming and prone to errors, especially for complex configurations. The pricing calculator automates this process and accounts for all variables.
