Cloud HPC Toolkit costs
There is no additional cost for using Cloud HPC Toolkit. You will only incur charges for any billable Google Cloud resources that are used by your HPC cluster. You can review the aspects of your billing reports that are directly tied to your HPC cluster from the Google Cloud console.
View billing report
Cloud HPC Toolkit applies labels to resources which allows you to quickly filter billing reports. This makes it easy to analyze costs associated with your deployments.
Permissions
