Committed use discounts (CUDs) provide discounted prices in exchange for your commitment to use a minimum level of resources for a one-year or three-year period. Depending on the service, you can get a resource-based CUD in exchange for your commitment to use a minimum level of Compute Engine resources in a region, or a spend-based CUD in exchange for your commitment to spend a minimum amount on a product or service.
Get information about CUDs and the services that they are available for.
