Summary

In this chapter, you learned that as we would expect, the prices of most GCP services vary widely, based on their usage, although the definition of usage varies widely by service. Some services, such as BigTable or Cloud Spanner, are inherently expensive and ought to be used with care. Several GCP services (for example, Cloud SQL and Kubernetes) are built atop GCE VMs, and the choices of VM type can dramatically change how much we pay.
