Notes
Cacheable content, cache hit
cache lookup + cache data transfer out
When Cloud CDN serves your content, you're charged for
bandwidth and HTTP/HTTPS requests.
The GET and
HEAD HTTP methods cause cache lookups. Other methods such
as POST and PUT do not.
This also applies to
Cloud CDN cache hits for cacheable content from custom
origins.
Cacheable content, cache miss
cache lookup + cache data transfer out + cache fill +
applicable Cloud Load Balancing data processing or
Cloud Storage operation charges
Cache fill and cache data transfer out charges apply to cacheable content.
These charges replace the data transfer charges that apply when serving directly from
Compute Engine or Cloud Storage.
For Cloud CDN cache fills from external backends,
requests to the external backend are charged at internet data transfer out rates.
Cache fills continue to benefit from Google's global backbone
network between Google's Cloud CDN edge and origin.
Non-cacheable content
cache lookup + applicable Cloud Load Balancing data processing +
standard Compute Engine or Cloud Storage data transfer rates
For non-cacheable content, standard
Compute Engine
and
Cloud Storage
internet data transfer out rates apply for response bytes.
For external backends, you're also charged for request bytes sent to
external backends from the load balancer at the standard
Compute Engine
internet data transfer out rates.
Overview
Cache data transfer out and cache fill are calculated in
gibibytes (GiB).
Cache data transfer out charges represent cached responses served from Cloud CDN's caches, and vary
based on the destination and your monthly usage.
Monthly usage is calculated per project per destination. Destination is a geographic area
that's determined by where traffic leaves the Google network.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on
Cloud Platform SKUs
apply.
1 Traffic destined for mainland China is served from
Google locations outside of mainland China. Performance and reliability may be
lower than for traffic served from in-country locations.
2 Oceania includes Australia, New Zealand, and
surrounding Pacific Ocean islands such as Papua New Guinea and Fiji. This region
excludes Hawaii.
Opt-In Network Regions
When Opt-in Network Regions are enabled with a BYOIP,
Cloud CDN and Global External Application Load Balancer traffic will start to utilize the opt-in
regions when clients are near one of the regions. When this occurs, there is an additional cost for
CDN Cache Data Transfer Out from these specific regions or when Global External Application Load
Balancer in these regions connects to a backend that is not in the same region.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on
Cloud Platform SKUs
apply.
Cache fill
Monthly cache fill charges represent the data required to populate Cloud CDN's caches. For
typical workloads where you are serving popular content, cache fill is often less than 10% of your
total data transfer GiB.
Charges vary based on the source and destination, where the source is the region of your backend
service, or for external backends, the geographic area based on your origin's IP address.
Cache fill
Price (per GiB)
Within North America or Europe
(including Hawaii)
$0.01
Within each of Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East, Africa, and Oceania
(including Hong Kong)
$0.02
Inter-region cache fill
(for example: between Asia Pacific and North America)
$0.04
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on
Cloud Platform SKUs
apply.
Charges accrue daily, but Cloud CDN bills you only at the end of the billing period.
You can view unbilled usage on your project's billing page in the Google Cloud console.
The metered bytes for cache data transfer out or cache fill include HTTP response headers (after
compression, if applicable) and the response body, as well as any trailers.
Pricing example
The following example shows a simple scenario that might apply if you are just
getting started with Cloud CDN.
Suppose you have the following Cloud CDN usage pattern in a given month.
