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