The full field manual our practitioners use on Google Cloud engagements: the committed use discount math, the rightsizing workflow, BigQuery and GKE tuning, and the storage lifecycle rules, in one document.
A Google Cloud bill rewards sequence. Rightsize before you commit, tier storage before you forget it, and choose the BigQuery pricing model before the slots run away. This field guide lays out that sequence in detail, with the numbers and the workflows, so your team can run it without guesswork.
It is the companion to our complete guide to Google Cloud cost optimization and goes deeper on the parts that need worked examples: how to model resource-based versus spend-based committed use discounts, how to read the BigQuery break-even between on-demand and Editions, and how to build a Cloud Storage lifecycle policy that pays for itself.
Engineering leaders, FinOps practitioners and finance teams who run meaningful spend on Google Cloud and want a repeatable way to cut it. No vendor pitch, just the method.
Prefer to have it done for you? Our Google Cloud optimization service applies this exact field guide, on a fixed fee or pay-from-savings basis, and you can see the results in our media streaming case study.
