Activity Intro: Cost estimating and planning
1. Activity Intro: Cost estimating and planning
person: In this design activity, use Google Cloud's pricing calculator to create an initial estimate for deploying your case study application. The pricing calculator gives you a form for each service, which you fill out to estimate the cost of using that service. For example, in this screenshot, I calculated the cost of one custom SQL instance with four cores, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and 500 gigabytes of SSD storage. This could represent the orders database of my online travel application. Some of these estimates aren't easy to generate, because you might not know how much data your storage and database services need and how much compute your deployment platforms require. However, it can be more challenging to estimate things like network egress or the number of reads and writes. Start with a rough estimate and refine it as your capacity plans improve. Refer to activity 13 in your workbook for similar cost estimates for your case study.2. Let's practice!
