Google Cloud persistent disk pricing not prorated like Amazon EBS?

Question

Is GCP persistent disk pricing prorated for short term use like retrieving data from a backup snapshot?

Pricing for GCP balanced storage is $0.1 per GB per month. If I create a 100GB disk for 1 day only in a 30 days month. Will I be billed for:

(1) 0.1 * 100 = $10?

Or

(2) 0.1 * 100 / 30 days = $0.33?

With Amazon EBS it seems to be (2) according to this page. But according to GCE pricing, although not clear, Google seems more like (1).

Answer 1

Yes, the disk pricing is always prorated. However, you can use the pricing calculator to get a good estimate of any product pricing.
