Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) are a type of pricing model offered by Google Cloud that allows customers to save money on their cloud computing costs by committing to use a certain amount of resources for a specified period of time. CUDs can be applied to a variety of Google Cloud services, including Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Storage, and BigQuery.
Benefits of Committed Use Discounts
There are a number of benefits to using CUDs, including:
-
Significant cost savings: CUDs can provide significant cost savings over on-demand pricing, especially for customers who have predictable workloads.
-
Budget predictability: CUDs provide budget predictability by locking in a fixed price for a specified period of time.
-
Improved performance: CUDs can help to improve performance by ensuring that you have the resources you need when you need them.
How Committed Use Discounts Work
To use CUDs, you must first purchase a commitment for a specified amount of resources and a specified period of time. The commitment can be for a single resource or a group of resources. Once you have purchased a commitment, you will receive a discount on the on-demand price of the resources covered by the commitment. The discount will vary depending on the type of resource, the size of the commitment, and the length of the commitment.
