  1. Google Cloud Cost Optimization: 10 Proven Strategies Boost Efficiency, Cut Costs, and Maximize ROI

  2. Managing cloud expenses effectively is crucial as organizations scale. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers flexibility, but without proper cost management, expenses can escalate. This presentation outlines ten actionable strategies to optimize GCP costs without compromising performance. Intoduction

  3. Regularly assess and adjust your virtual machine (VM) sizes to match workload requirements. Over- provisioning leads to unnecessary costs. Utilize GCP's recommendations to identify underutilized resources and optimize accordingly. Right-Size Compute Resources

  4. Commit to using specific resources over a one- or three-year term to receive substantial discounts—up to 57% compared to on-demand pricing. Ideal for predictable, steady-state workloads. Leverage Committed Use Discounts (CUDs)

  5. GCP automatically applies discounts for resources used consistently over a billing month. The longer the usage, the higher the discount, reaching up to 30%. Maximize savings by consolidating workloads on fewer, long-running instances. Utilize Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs)

  6. Identify and shut down idle resources like VMs, databases, and Kubernetes clusters. Implement automation tools such as Cloud Scheduler or Cloud Functions to schedule shutdowns during non-peak hours, reducing unnecessary costs. Automate Idle Resource Shutdowns

  7. Deploy Preemptible VMs for Short-Term Tasks For fault-tolerant and short-duration workloads, use preemptible VMs, which are significantly cheaper—up to 80% less than standard VMs. Suitable for batch processing, testing, and data analysis tasks.

  8. Choose appropriate storage classes based on data access frequency: Standard, Nearline, Coldline, or Archive. Implement lifecycle policies to automatically transition data to more cost- effective storage tiers over time. Optimize Storage and Implement Lifecycle Policies

  9. Use labels to categorize resources by project, team, or environment. This enhances visibility into spending patterns, facilitates accountability, and aids in identifying cost-saving opportunities across departments. Implement Resource Labeling for Better Tracking

  10. Set Budgets and Monitor with Cost Tools Establish budgets and set up alerts to monitor spending. Utilize GCP's billing dashboard, cost tables, and cost breakdowns to gain insights into expenditure and prevent budget overruns.

  11. For a more detailed exploration of these strategies, refer to Damco Group's comprehensive guide on GCP cost optimization. Summing Up
