| 🏆 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.

## ☁️ 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. |

## 🧑‍🏫 Start the interactive tutorial
This guide is available as an interactive Cloud Shell tutorial.
To get started, please click the following button:
[![Open in Cloud Shell](https://gstatic.com/cloudssh/images/open-btn.png)](https://shell.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?cloudshell_git_repo=https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator&cloudshell_git_branch=master&cloudshell_tutorial=cloud-shell-tutorial.md)
## 🏃 Quick start
### 1. Get `gcosts` program
[Download](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest) the ready complied and executable `gcosts` CLI program for your operating system and architecture.
<details>
<summary><b>Linux</b></summary>
Download:
* [x86_64](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest/download/gcosts-linux-x86_64) Intel or AMD 64-Bit CPU
```bash
curl -L "https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest/download/gcosts-linux-x86_64" \
-o "gcosts" && \
chmod +x "gcosts"

<details>
<summary><b>Windows</b></summary>
Download:
* [x86_64](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest/download/gcosts-windows-x86_64.exe) Intel or AMD 64-Bit CPU
```powershell
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest/download/gcosts-windows-x86_64.exe" -OutFile "gcosts.exe"
```
* [arm64](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calculator/releases/latest/download/gcosts-windows-arm64.exe) Arm-based 64-Bit CPU

```
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'
```
