Editions & pricing

Google Cloud editions and vendor pricing

Vendor list prices for the editions we deploy. Deployment, migration, hardening and support are quoted separately by Techno Trader PK — they are never bundled into these figures.

Architecture

Google Cloud environment reference

Projects are the isolation boundary, IAM is granted on groups rather than individuals, and networking is shared rather than duplicated per team.

  1. 01 · Organisation & IAM

    Organisation / foldersProjects per environmentGroups & IAM rolesOrg policies

    Access granted to groups at folder level; service accounts scoped and keyless wherever workload identity allows.

  2. 02 · Edge

    Cloud DNSCloud Load BalancingCloud Armor / CDN

    Global load balancing with managed certificates and WAF rules at the edge.

  3. 03 · Network

    Shared VPCSubnets per regionCloud NATFirewall rules

    Shared VPC keeps one network model while projects retain their own resource ownership.

  4. 04 · Compute & data

    Compute EngineGKECloud RunCloud SQLCloud Storage

    Managed services chosen where they remove operational burden; instances sized from observed utilisation.

  5. 05 · Operations

    Cloud MonitoringCloud LoggingBackup & DR serviceBudgets

    Log sinks retained centrally, alerting on SLOs, budget notifications enabled per project.

FAQ

Google Cloud questions we are asked

When does Google Cloud make more sense than AWS or Azure?
Where the estate is container-heavy, data and analytics workloads dominate, or the organisation already runs Google Workspace identity. Otherwise selection follows cost, skills and support expectations.
Do we need GKE, or is Cloud Run enough?
Cloud Run handles stateless HTTP services with far less operational overhead. GKE is warranted when you need custom networking, operators, stateful workloads or fine-grained scheduling.
How is spend controlled?
Committed use discounts for steady workloads, autoscaling and preemptible or spot nodes where interruption is acceptable, plus per-project budgets and quota limits.
Can Workspace identity be used for cloud access?
Yes. Workspace groups drive IAM bindings, with 2-step verification enforced so cloud access inherits the same identity controls as mail.
