| | 🏆 Awarded | | |
| |------------| | |
| | This project was the winner of the [Google Open Source Peer Bonus](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/09/announcing-the-second-group-of-open-source-peer-bonus-winners-in-2022.html) in 2022 🥳 | | |
| Calculate estimated monthly costs of Google Cloud Platform products and resources. | |
| Optimized for DevOps, architects and engineers to quickly see a cost breakdown and compare different options upfront: | |
| * Mapping of resource usage is done in easy to learn **YAML** usage files | |
| * Price information is read from a local file (`pricing.yml`) | |
| * Calculation is done via `gcosts` **CLI** program | |
| * Calculated costs are saved in **CSV** file optimized for non-technical audience | |
| Full control and no disclosure of any information and costs to third parties. | |
| Everything is calculated on your local computer. | |
| No need to have a connection to the Internet. | |
| Everything tested and matched against the actual invoice in large Google Cloud migration projects. | |
| Over **493 automated tests** ensure `gcosts` reliability. | |
| `gcosts` works on various OS and terminals, including Windows CMD, macOS iTerm2, and in CI systems like GitHub Actions. | |
| | 1️⃣ Create YAML file | 2️⃣ Run `gcosts` CLI program | 3️⃣ Open CSV file | | |
| |---------------------|-----------------------------|------------------| | |
| |  |  |  | | |
| ## ☁️ Supported resources | |
| The cost of a resource is calculated by multiplying its price by its usage. | |
| | 💡 Google Cloud Free Program | | |
| |------------------------------------------------| | |
| | Free tiers and free trial (90-day, $300), which are usually not a significant part of cloud costs, are ignored. For example: 1x free non-preemptible `e2-micro` VM instance per month, free NAT for 32 VMs, 30 GB-months standard persistent disk, 1 GB network egress and everything [else](https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier/#compute) are not taken into account. | | |

| ``` | |
| To determine your OS version, run `echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%` at the command line. | |
| Execute `gcosts.exe`: | |
| ```powershell | |
| .\gcosts.exe help | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| ### 2. Download price information | |
| [Download](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/raw/master/pricing.yml) the latest and tested price information file `pricing.yml`. | |
| The price information is automatically regenerated on a weekly basis. | |
| Download the updated pricing file regularly. | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>Linux</b></summary> | |
| Download `pricing.yml`: | |
| ```bash | |
| curl -L "https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/raw/master/pricing.yml" \ | |
| -o "pricing.yml" | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>macOS</b></summary> | |
| Download `pricing.yml`: | |
| ```bash | |
| curl -L "https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/raw/master/pricing.yml" \ | |
| -o "pricing.yml" | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>Windows</b></summary> | |
| Download `pricing.yml`: | |
| ```powershell | |
| Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/raw/master/pricing.yml" -OutFile "pricing.yml" | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| ### 3. Run it | |
| Prepare a separate directory (i.e. `usage`) just for your YAML usage files and create your first YAML usage file (`resources.yml`) in this directory: | |
| ```yml | |
| region: europe-west4 | |
| project: my-first-project | |
| instances: | |
| - name: app-server | |
| type: e2-standard-8 | |
| os: rhel | |
| commitment: 3 | |
| disks: | |
| - name: disk-boot | |
| type: ssd | |
| data: 75 | |
| ``` | |
| > **Warning** | |
| > If the price list (`pricing.yml`) is in the same directory, errors occur because the YAML file is also parsed. | |
| Execute the CLI program: | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>Linux</b></summary> | |
| Execute `gcosts`: | |
| ```bash | |
| ./gcosts calc --pricing YML-PRICING-PATH | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>macOS</b></summary> | |
| Execute `gcosts`: | |
| ```bash | |
| ./gcosts calc --pricing YML-PRICING-PATH | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| <details> | |
| <summary><b>Windows</b></summary> | |
| Execute `gcosts.exe`: | |
| ```powershell | |
| .\gcosts.exe calc --pricing YML-PRICING-PATH | |
| ``` | |
| </details> | |
| Without extra specification of the directory all YAML files (`*.yml`) of the current directory are imported and the costs of the resources are calculated. | |
| You can specify the directory: | |
| ```bash | |
| gcosts calc --dir DIRECTORY-PATH --pricing YML-PRICING-PATH | |
| ``` | |
| The calculated costs are exported to one CSV (comma-separated values) file. | |
| Without specifying the file location, the file is named `costs.csv` and is saved in the current directory. | |
| You can specify the CSV export file: | |
| ```bash | |
| gcosts calc --csv CSV-EXPORT-FILE-PATH --pricing YML-PRICING-PATH | |
| ``` | |
| You can import the CSV file with MS Excel, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice or Google Sheets. | |
| ### 4. Get familiar | |
| Continue to familiarize yourself with the options. The following documentations are prepared for this purpose: | |
| * [Create usage files](usage/README.md) | |
| * [Build pricing information file](build/README.md) | |
| **🤓 Tip** | |
| Add `gcosts` to your Shell aliases with absolute pathnames. | |
| You can then execute `gcosts` anywhere. | |
| Alias (`~/.aliases`): | |
| ```bash | |
| alias gcosts='/your-pathname/gcosts --pricing /your-pathname/pricing.yml' | |
| ``` | |
