Google Cloud costs, like any cloud's, drift upward without attention. These tactics reclaim spend without affecting your workloads.
The tactics
- Apply committed-use discounts to steady workloads
- Right-size VMs with recommendations
- Autoscale and scale to zero where possible
- Use lifecycle policies on Cloud Storage
- Clean up idle resources and unused IPs
We run Google Cloud cost reviews that typically reclaim 20–30% of spend.
