Estimate the cost for a service deployed in app engine.

[Vandana2609]

Hey, Can anyone suggest me how can I estimate the cost of a particular service deployed in App engine.

For eg configuration::

env: flex.                                                                 runtime: aspdotnetcore.                                  autoscaling: min_instance:1 max_instance:2

Maybe using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator?

Hello @Vandana2609,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Here are the steps on how to estimate the cost of a particular service deployed in App Engine:

1. Go to the App Engine pricing calculator.
2. Opt for "Flexible environment" instances.
3. Select the "ASP.NET Core" runtime.
4. Enter the number of instances that you expect to run your service on. In your case, you have set the minimum and maximum number of instances to 1 and 2.
5. Indicate the amount of memory required for your service.
6. Click the "Calculate" button.

The calculator will then provide you with an estimated cost for your service based on the information you've provided. This cost includes:

- Instance hours: This expense covers the runtime of the instances your service necessitates. The cost per instance hour is contingent on the instance type you select.
- Memory usage: This cost accounts for the memory consumption of your service. The cost per gigabyte (GB) of memory varies depending on your service's deployment location.
- Autoscaling: This expense arises if your service undergoes automatic scaling. The cost per autoscaling event depends on the location of your deployment.
