What the price covers

The source is Google Cloud Billing Catalog API, recorded at 2026-10-23 05:37:50 UTC in the GPU snapshot also used by the live GPU index. The list-price basis is instance_share: AWS/Azure divide the whole instance price by its GPUs; Google Cloud adds the GPU SKU and the machine's CPU and memory SKU shares. All include vCPU and system RAM; local SSD, boot disks, licences, network, tax and discounts are not included. Spot is interruptible and not a guaranteed completion price. Price presence does not guarantee available capacity.
