GCP ACE · Question 10 · Domain 2.1: Planning and estimating GCP product use
You are using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to estimate the monthly cost of running 10 Compute Engine virtual machines. These VMs will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the entire month.
How should you account for Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) in your estimate?
Answer options:
Manually calculate a 30% discount and subtract it from the final total.
Do nothing; the Pricing Calculator automatically applies Sustained Use Discounts based on the usage hours entered.
Select the 'Apply SUD' checkbox in the Compute Engine section of the calculator.
Sustained Use Discounts only apply to preemptible VMs, so you must select preemptible instances.
