Confidential VM pricing
Confidential VM pricing
Confidential VM incurs additional costs on top of Compute Engine pricing. For full details on Compute Engine pricing, see All pricing.
Using Confidential VM does not affect contractual discounts that are applied to underlying Compute Engine services.
For Compute Engine, disk size, machine type memory, and network usage are calculated in JEDEC binary gigabytes (GB), or IEC gibibytes (GiB), where 1 GiB is 230 bytes. Similarly, 1 TiB is 240 bytes, or 1024 JEDEC GBs.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
You can also find pricing information with the following options:
- See the estimated costs of your instances and Compute Engine resources when you create them in the Google Cloud console.
- Estimate your total project costs with the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
Pricing overview
Confidential VM incurs additional flat per-vCPU and per-GB costs, which vary depending on whether a Confidential VM instance is on demand or preemptible, and what Confidential Computing technology is used.
