Network traffic cost related query

[mpoloq]

Hi Team,

This is my first post so please be understanding 🙂 I am trying to understand the cost associated with a data flow as we have a massive amount of data to be transferred to GCP. In simplified version:

On-prem datacenter -> partner interconnect --- 5 Gbps ---> us-west2 --- VPC peering ---> us-east4 --- load balancer --> VM

1. Partner interconnect. No cost for uploading the data. The only price is related with VLAN attachments. In my case '$1.25 per hour per VLAN attachment' for 5 Gbps

2. Inter-region data transfer. Src North America, Dst North America is 0.02$/GB

3. Load balancer

First 5 forwarding rules $0.028 Per Hour
Inbound data processed by load balancer $0.009 Per GiB
Outbound data processed by load balancer $0.009 Per GiB

Is there any other hidden transfer price which I am missing ?

Hi @mpoloq,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

I would recommend the Pricing Calculator for your case. You can configure the calculator by adding Cloud Interconnect and select the service type (Partner Interconnect) that would suit your needs. 

You may contact Cloud Billing support for more clarification regarding your pricing inquiry.

Hope this helps.
