Cloud Interconnect pricing

This document explains Cloud Interconnect pricing details.

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

Dedicated Interconnect

Google charges you on an hourly basis for both Cloud Interconnect connections and VLAN attachments. The hourly charge for each resource, either Cloud Interconnect connection or VLAN attachment, is charged to the project that owns the resource.

Data transfer from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through your Cloud Interconnect connections is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Data transfer out pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Cloud Interconnect connection.

This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.

Cloud Interconnect data transfer out charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Cloud Interconnect connection is not billed for the data transfer. Specifically, costs for data transfer from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through a Cloud Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.

For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your Dedicated Interconnect connections, VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an IP address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.

In terms of HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect data transfer, you are charged only for Cloud Interconnect data transfer out. You are not charged for Cloud VPN data transfer.

Partner Interconnect

Google charges you on an hourly basis for VLAN attachments, depending on their capacity. The hourly charges are billed to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. Your service provider might also charge you for services such as using their network, which isn't included in your Google Cloud bills. For information about their pricing, contact your service provider.

Data transfer from your VPC networks though your attachments is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Outbound data transfer pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Cloud Interconnect connection.

This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment.

Pricing scenarios

This section describes different pricing scenarios for how Google Cloud calculates pricing for Cloud Interconnect outbound data transfer; that is, when a virtual machine (VM) instance or a non-VM Google Cloud product or service sends traffic to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment located in the same or different geographical location:

For more information about costs for each scenario, including data transfer charges between regions within a continent and between continents, see General network pricing.

A VM in the same region as a VLAN attachment, using either regional or global VPC dynamic routing

In this scenario, there are two regions within North America, us-west1 and us-east1. These regions use VPC regional dynamic routing provided by Cloud Router. In this scenario, it doesn't matter which dynamic routing mode you use.

VM in same continent, regional routing (click to enlarge).
Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America.
No region-to-region data transfer charges.

You order a Cloud Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create two VLAN attachments over that connection. One VLAN attachment goes to region us-east1, and the other VLAN attachment goes to region us-west1.

If you send traffic from a VM in us-east1 or from a VM in us-west1 to your on-premises location over your Cloud Interconnect connection in SJC, you are charged the following rates:

  • Cloud Interconnect data transfer out charges for North America (because that is where the Cloud Interconnect connection is located).
  • You are not charged region-to-region data transfer charges because the VMs are using a VLAN attachment in the same region.

A VM in the same continent but different region than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

In this scenario, you have VMs in two regions located in North America, us-west1 and us-east1. You have enabled global dynamic routing for your VPC network by using Cloud Router. Global dynamic routing enables VLAN attachments in one region to be used by one or more VMs located in another region.

VM in same continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge).
Region-to-region data transfer charges from us-east1 to us-west1.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises.

You order a Cloud Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic from a VM in us-east1 to your on-premises location through the VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Region-to-region data transfer charges for forwarding traffic from us-east1 to the VLAN attachment in us-west1. The VLAN attachment in us-west1 is considered the source of traffic.
  • Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location.

A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

This scenario is the same as the preceding example, except that one region, us-west1, is located in North America, and the other region, asia-east1, is located in Asia. Sending traffic between regions on different continents results in more expensive inter-region data transfer rates.

VM in a different continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge).
Intercontinental region-to-region data transfer charges for traffic forwarded from asia-east1 to us-west1.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises.

The only way to send traffic from asia-east1 over Cloud Interconnect in North America is by enabling VPC global dynamic routing. This makes the VLAN attachment in us-west1 available to VMs in all regions in your VPC network. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Intercontinental region-to-region data transfer charges for traffic forwarded from asia-east1 to us-west1.
  • Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location.

A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using VPC Network Peering

This scenario is similar to the preceding example, except that there are two VPC networks connected through VPC Network Peering. Sending traffic between regions results in the same rates as the preceding example that uses global dynamic routing.

VM in a different continent, VPC Network Peering (click to enlarge).
Intercontinental region-to-region data transfer charges for traffic forwarded from us-east4 to asia-northeast1.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for Asia from asia-northeast1 to on-premises.

You send traffic from us-east4 to your on-premises network over Cloud Interconnect in Asia by using VPC Network Peering. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Intercontinental region-to-region data transfer charges for traffic forwarded from us-east4 to asia-northeast1.
  • Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for Asia for traffic from region asia-northeast1 to your on-premises location.

A non-VM Google Cloud product or service in a different location than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

In addition to the preceding scenarios, Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges apply to traffic sent from a Google Cloud product or service that is not a VM to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment. You pay the product's data transfer charges to reach the region of the VLAN attachment, and then pay the Cloud Interconnect data transfer out charges based on the continent where the Cloud Interconnect connection is located.

The following example describes charges for traffic transferring out from a Cloud Storage bucket in a different region in North America than the region where the VLAN attachment is located.

Non-VM in two North American regions, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge).
Cloud Storage data transfer charges for traffic forwarded from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to us-west1.
Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises.

In this scenario, you have resources in two regions located in North America, us-west1 (Oregon) and northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal). You have enabled global dynamic routing for your VPC network by using Cloud Router.

You order a Cloud Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to your on-premises location through the VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are charged the following rates:

  • The Cloud Storage data transfer cost for forwarding traffic from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to a VLAN attachment in us-west1.
  • Cloud Interconnect data transfer charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location (because that is where your Cloud Interconnect connection is located).

If the Cloud Storage bucket is located in a different continent than the VLAN attachment, you pay Cloud Storage intercontinental data transfer charges to reach the VLAN attachment in us-west1.
