You have designed a solution on Google Cloud that uses multiple Google Cloud products. Your company has asked you to estimate the costs of the solution. You need to provide estimates for the monthly total cost. What should you do?
A.
For each Google Cloud product in the solution, review the pricing details on the products pricing page. Use the pricing calculator to total the monthly costs for each Google Cloud product.
B.
For each Google Cloud product in the solution, review the pricing details on the products pricing page. Create a Google Sheet that summarizes the expected monthly costs for each product.
C.
Provision the solution on Google Cloud. Leave the solution provisioned for 1 week. Navigate to the Billing Report page in the Cloud Console. Multiply the 1 week cost to determine the monthly costs.
D.
Provision the solution on Google Cloud. Leave the solution provisioned for 1 week. Use Cloud Monitoring to determine the provisioned and used resource amounts. Multiply the 1 week cost to determine the monthly costs.
Why not B?? Even though answer A makes sense, they are also stating to provide estimates for "monthly total costs". One would think that it is not only necessary to get estimates from every resource, but also consolidate them to inform the monthly total cost required.
A. For each Google Cloud product in the solution, review the pricing details on the products pricing page. Use the pricing calculator to total the monthly costs for each Google Cloud product.
A is the correct answer, use the pricing calculator to estimate the pricing for a month and download the estimate to csv file, or you can share the URL of the pricing calculator or email the estimate to the respective people in the company.
Answer is C
The question says 'cost of solution of the design' means, how it is going to work in practical, means the traffic load, no of users, uploads, downloads, transcations etc etc.
In this case, the more nearer option is to run for a week, then calculate.
Answer A is not correct, becoz A is applicable when the cost of the product is to be determined.
Question has asked to estimate the costs of the solution i.e. the initial setup cost not the running cost. Therefore, C and D discarded and B is of no use without pricing calculator. Question is testing whether you are aware of ths calculator service from Google.
C and D are not optimal due to deployment costs. Provisioning the solution for an extended period just to estimate cost incurs actual expenses. Additionally, a week may not adequately capture fluctuations in usage patterns over a full month.
Correct is A. It is the main purpose of Pricing calculator. You have to check pricing details on products pages to understand what charges apply and how to size it.
B. It works bur it is more complicated than A.
C. It works but you need to wait one week and you pay for this. Moreoever, you won't be in production so somes charges may lack like net egress charges
D. No, because Cloud Monitoring can't be used for billing purpose
