Network Connectivity pricing

This page describes pricing for all Network Connectivity products.

Cloud VPN pricing

At a high level, your Cloud VPN charges consist of the following:

  • An hourly charge for each Cloud VPN gateway; this charge is determined partly by the number of tunnels attached to the gateway, as well as the location of the gateway
  • A monthly charge for IPsec traffic
  • An hourly charge for any external IP address assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel

For more information about Cloud VPN, see the Cloud VPN overview.

Pricing table

To view pricing, select the location of the Cloud VPN gateway. Except where otherwise noted, all details apply to both Classic VPN and HA VPN.

Google does not charge for forwarding rules that send traffic to the VPN gateway.

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

Pricing scenarios

For help understanding Cloud VPN pricing, refer to the following examples.

us-central1 gateway to data center

Suppose you have a VPN gateway in us-central1. That gateway uses two tunnels to connect with an on-premises data center in Iowa.

Each month, you send 2 tebibytes (TiB) of data through the tunnel, from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to your data center. At the same time, you send 2 TiB in the other direction—from the data center to your VPC network.

Additionally, your gateway uses a reserved external IP address.

The following table shows the charges that you'd incur during a 30-day month with this setup.

Gateway Egress traffic Ingress traffic IP address Total
us-central1 gateway ($0.050) x 2 tunnels x 720 hours = $72.00 2 TiB (or 2,048 GiB) x $0.11 = $225.28 No charge for ingress traffic. No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel. $297.28

asia-northeast1 gateway to data center and another VPC network

Suppose your project has a VPC network called Network A, which includes a VPN gateway in asia-northeast1. This gateway uses two tunnels to connect with an on-premises data center in Tokyo. Additionally, this gateway uses two tunnels to connect with Network B, another VPC network in your project. Network B's gateway is located in europe-west6.

Each month, your data usage is as follows:

  • Users in Network A download 10 TiB of data from Cloud Storage and send it to the Tokyo data center.
  • Networks A and B send each other about 20 TiB of data.

Both the asia-northeast1 and europe-west6 gateways use reserved external IP addresses.

Additionally, you have a third VPN gateway in southamerica-east1. You created this gateway several months ago and assigned it a reserved external IP address. However, you never set up a tunnel for this gateway.

The following table shows the charges that this setup would incur during a 30-day month.

Gateway Egress traffic Ingress traffic IP address Total
asia-northeast1 gateway ($0.075), with four tunnels x 720 hours = $216.00 Traffic to the data center:
10 TiB (or 10,240 GiB) x $0.14 = $1,433.60
No charge for ingress traffic. No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel. $3,288.00
Traffic to Network B:
20 TiB (or 20,480 GiB) x $0.08 = $1,638.40
No charge for ingress traffic.
europe-west6 gateway ($0.065) x 2 tunnels x 720 hours = $93.60 Traffic to Network A:
20 TiB (or 20,480 GiB) x $0.08 = $1,638.40
No charge for ingress traffic. No charge for a reserved external IP address that is used by a tunnel. $1,732.00
southamerica-east1 gateway ($0.075) x 0 tunnels x 720 hours = no charge No egress traffic. No ingress traffic. One unused external IP address in southamerica-east1 ($0.015) x 720 hours = $10.80. $10.80
Grand total $5,030.80

Cloud Interconnect pricing

This document explains Cloud Interconnect pricing details.

If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.

Dedicated Interconnect

Google charges you on an hourly basis for both Interconnect connections and VLAN attachments. The hourly charge for each resource, either Interconnect connection or VLAN attachment, is charged to the project that owns the resource.

Egress traffic from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through your Interconnect connections is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Egress pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Interconnect connection.

This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.

Cloud Interconnect egress charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Interconnect connection is not billed for egress. Specifically, costs for egress traffic from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through an Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.

For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your Dedicated Interconnect connections, VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an IP address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.

In terms of HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect egress traffic, you are charged only for Cloud Interconnect egress traffic. You are not charged for Cloud VPN egress traffic.

For more information, see Cloud VPN pricing.

Partner Interconnect

Google charges you on an hourly basis for VLAN attachments, depending on their capacity. The hourly charges are billed to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. Your service provider might also charge you for services such as using their network, which isn't included in your Google Cloud bills. For information about their pricing, contact your service provider.

Egress traffic from your VPC networks though your attachments is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Egress pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Interconnect connection.

This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.

Cloud Interconnect egress charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Interconnect connection is not billed for egress. Specifically, costs for egress traffic from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through an Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.

For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.

In terms of HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect egress traffic, you are charged only for Cloud Interconnect egress traffic. You are not charged for Cloud VPN egress traffic.

Cross-Cloud Interconnect

Google charges you on an hourly basis for both Cross-Cloud Interconnect connections and VLAN attachments. The hourly charge for each resource, either Cross-Cloud Interconnect connection or VLAN attachment, is charged to the project that owns the resource.

Egress traffic from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through your Cross-Cloud Interconnect connections is discounted compared to general network pricing for Google Cloud. Egress pricing depends on the number of gibibytes (GiB) transferred and the location of your Cross-Cloud Interconnect connection.

This discounted pricing applies only to traffic that originates in the region where the VLAN attachment is located. You can use VLAN attachments to access services located in a different region than the VLAN attachment. In this case, you are charged standard cross-region rates for traffic between the region where the VLAN attachment is located and the region where the service is located.

Cross-Cloud Interconnect egress charges accrue to the project that owns the VLAN attachment. The project that owns the Interconnect connection is not billed for egress. Specifically, costs for egress traffic from a VLAN attachment in a Shared VPC service project, which travels through an Interconnect connection in a different host project, are attributed to the service project.

For HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect deployments, you are charged for your Cross-Cloud Interconnect connections, VLAN attachments, HA VPN tunnels, and regional external IP addresses, if an IP address is assigned to a VPN gateway but not used by a tunnel.

Pricing scenarios

This section describes different pricing scenarios for how Google Cloud calculates pricing for Cloud Interconnect egress traffic; that is, when a virtual machine (VM) instance or a non-VM Google Cloud product or service sends traffic to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment located in the same or different geographical location:

For more information about costs for each scenario, including egress charges between regions within a continent and between continents, see General network pricing.

A VM in the same region as a VLAN attachment, using either regional or global VPC dynamic routing

In this scenario, there are two regions within North America, us-west1 and us-east1. These regions use VPC regional dynamic routing provided by Cloud Router. In this scenario, it doesn't matter which dynamic routing mode you use.

VM in same continent, regional routing (click to enlarge),
              Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America,
               no region-to-region egress charges.
VM in same continent, regional routing (click to enlarge)
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America
No region-to-region egress charges

You order an Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create two VLAN attachments over that connection. One VLAN attachment goes to region us-east1, and the other VLAN attachment goes to region us-west1.

If you send traffic from a VM in us-east1 or from a VM in us-west1 to your on-premises location over your Interconnect connection in SJC, you are charged the following rates:

  • Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America (because that is where the Interconnect connection is located).
  • You are not charged region-to-region egress charges because the VMs are using a VLAN attachment in the same region.

A VM in the same continent but different region than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

In this scenario, you have VMs in two regions located in North America, us-west1 and us-east1. You have enabled global dynamic routing for your VPC network by using Cloud Router. Global dynamic routing enables VLAN attachments in one region to be used by one or more VMs located in another region.

VM in same continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge),
              Region-to-region egress charges for us-east1 to us-west1,
              Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises.
VM in same continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge)
Region-to-region egress charges from us-east1 to us-west1
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises

You order an Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic from a VM in us-east1 to your on-premises location through the VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Region-to-region egress charges for forwarding traffic from us-east1 to the VLAN attachment in us-west1. The VLAN attachment in us-west1 is considered the source of traffic.
  • Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location.

A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

This scenario is the same as the preceding example, except that one region, us-west1, is located in North America, and the other region, asia-east1, is located in Asia. Sending traffic between regions on different continents results in more expensive inter-region egress rates.

VM in a different continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge),
              Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from
              asia-east1 to us-west1,
              Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises.
VM in a different continent, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge)
Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from asia-east1 to us-west1
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises

The only way to send traffic from asia-east1 over Cloud Interconnect in North America is by enabling VPC global dynamic routing. This makes the VLAN attachment in us-west1 available to VMs in all regions in your VPC network. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from asia-east1 to us-west1.
  • Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location.

A VM in a different continent than a VLAN attachment, using VPC Network Peering

This scenario is similar to the preceding example, except that there are two VPC networks connected through VPC Network Peering. Sending traffic between regions results in the same rates as the preceding example that uses global dynamic routing.

VM in a different continent, VPC Network Peering (click to enlarge),
              Cloud Interconnect egress charges for Asia from asia-northeast1 to on-premises,
               Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from
              us-east4 to asia-northeast1.
VM in a different continent, VPC Network Peering (click to enlarge)
Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from us-east4 to asia-northeast1
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for Asia from asia-northeast1 to on-premises

You send traffic from us-east4 to your on-premises network over Cloud Interconnect in Asia by using VPC Network Peering. You are then charged the following rates:

  • Intercontinental region-to-region egress charges for traffic forwarded from us-east4 to asia-northeast1.
  • Cloud Interconnect egress charges for Asia for traffic from region asia-northeast1 to your on-premises location.

A non-VM Google Cloud product or service in a different location than a VLAN attachment, using global VPC dynamic routing

In addition to the preceding scenarios, Cloud Interconnect egress charges apply to traffic sent from a Google Cloud product or service that is not a VM to your on-premises location over a VLAN attachment. You pay the product's egress charges to reach the region of the VLAN attachment, and then pay the Cloud Interconnect egress charges based on the continent where the Interconnect connection is located.

The following example describes charges for traffic egressing a Cloud Storage bucket in a different region in North America than the region where the VLAN attachment is located.

Non-VM in two North American regions, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge),
              Cloud Storage egress charges for traffic
            forwarded from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to us-west1,
              Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1
              to on-premises.
Non-VM in two North American regions, global dynamic routing (click to enlarge)
Cloud Storage egress charges for traffic forwarded from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to us-west1
Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America from us-west1 to on-premises

In this scenario, you have resources in two regions located in North America, us-west1 (Oregon) and northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal). You have enabled global dynamic routing for your VPC network by using Cloud Router.

You order an Interconnect connection running from your on-premises location to San Jose (SJC) and create one VLAN attachment over that connection to us-west1. You then send traffic from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to your on-premises location through the VLAN attachment located in us-west1. You are charged the following rates:

  • The Cloud Storage egress cost for forwarding traffic from a Cloud Storage bucket in northamerica-northeast1 to a VLAN attachment in us-west1. If the regions were both inside the US location, then there would be no egress charge.
  • Cloud Interconnect egress charges for North America for traffic from region us-west1 to your on-premises location (because that is where your Interconnect connection is located).

If the Cloud Storage bucket is located in a different continent than the VLAN attachment, you pay Cloud Storage intercontinental egress charges to reach the VLAN attachment in us-west1.

For a full list of pricing scenarios for Cloud Storage, see the Cloud Storage pricing page.

Cloud Router pricing

Cloud Router is provided free of charge. General networking costs apply to control plane (BGP) traffic. In most cases, these costs are negligible.

For more information about networking costs, see General network pricing in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) documentation.

Network Connectivity Center pricing

This document describes pricing for Network Connectivity Center.

Network Connectivity Center is a hub-and-spoke model for network connectivity management in Google Cloud. With this model, on-premises networks connect to a Network Connectivity Center hub by using spokes that have supported Google Cloud spoke resources attached to them.

For more information about Network Connectivity Center, see the Network Connectivity Center overview.

Current pricing

The following sections describe the current pricing for Network Connectivity Center.

Hubs and spokes

The following table describes charges for hubs and spokes. Spoke hours refers to the number of hours within a month that a spoke is active.

Spoke hour charges are waived for up to three VPN spokes and three Interconnect spokes.

Resource Price per month
Hub No charge
Spoke hours $0.075 per hour

Data transfer

Data transfer refers to region-to-region traffic that uses Google's network to connect non-Google Cloud networks.

Data-transfer traffic is different from ingress and egress traffic, which flows either into or out of Google's network. In contrast, data-transfer does both: it flows into and out of Google's network, because it originates and terminates outside of Google's network.

Data transfer charges are based on gibibytes (GiB) of traffic per month.

Post-GA pricing

In addition to the pricing described in Current pricing, future Network Connectivity Center releases will include an Advanced Data Networking charge.

Advanced Data Networking

Advanced Data Networking (ADN) refers to the processing fee charged for all traffic that is sent from a spoke through a hub.

The ADN charge is $0.02 per gibibyte (GiB) per month.

This fee is currently waived.

Pricing example

In this example, an enterprise connects two Router appliance spokes to their Network Connectivity Center hub. One spoke represents an office in Los Angeles (us-west2). Another represents an office in Mumbai (asia-south1).

Every month, the US office transfers 5 TiB of data to the Asia office, and the Asia office transfers 5 TiB to the US office.

The following table describes how this customer would be charged for one 30-day month.

Pricing for other Google Cloud resources

The pricing on this page does not include charges for other Google Cloud resources and products that you might be using in conjunction with Network Connectivity Center. For example:

  • If you use Router appliance spokes, you pay for the underlying Compute Engine resources.
  • If you use VLAN attachment spokes, you pay for the underlying Cloud Interconnect resources.
  • If you use VPN spokes, you pay for the underlying Cloud VPN resources.

Router appliance pricing

Pricing for Router appliance is part of Network Connectivity Center pricing. For pricing, see Network Connectivity Center pricing.

For more information about networking costs, see General network pricing in the Virtual Private Cloud documentation.

Direct Peering pricing

Establishing a Direct Peering connection with Google is free. There are no costs per port or fractional port, and no per hour charges.

Your Google Cloud projects are eligible for discounted egress data rates for traffic sent to your peered network. To request that your projects be enabled to receive the discounted direct peering egress rates to your peered network's IP ranges, contact your Google Cloud sales team.

Discounted egress rates through a direct peering connection are available under the following conditions:

  • The continental location of the source Google Cloud resource sending traffic must be the same as the continental location of your peered network.
  • The destination for egress traffic must fall into your peered network's IP ranges.
  • Your project must be enabled for direct peering egress pricing for your peered network's IP ranges.

For example, suppose your on-premises network uses the range 203.0.113.0/24 and is located in North America. From an enabled project, egress traffic sent from any VM in any zone in North America to 203.0.113.0/24 is billed at the direct peering egress rate listed in the following table.

Continental location Direct peering egress rate
NA $0.04/GB
EU $0.05/GB
APAC $0.06/GB

All other traffic, including egress traffic to destinations other than your on-premises network, is billed at standard Google Cloud rates.

Carrier Peering pricing

Carrier Peering pricing includes the following components:

  • Google Cloud egress traffic through Carrier Peering connections is billed to the originating Google Cloud project at the following rates.

    Continental location Carrier Peering egress rate
    NA $0.04/GB
    EU $0.05/GB
    APAC $0.06/GB

    To receive this pricing, you must notify the Google sales team after signing up with one of the service providers. All other traffic, including ingress traffic through the connection, is billed at standard Google Cloud rates.

    Google Cloud traffic sent to an in-region connection is charged in a similar manner to the Direct Peering pricing structure.

  • Service provider fees. Consult your service provider to find out what they charge to provide connections to you.

Egress charges for CDN Interconnect also appear on the invoice as Compute Engine Network Egress via Carrier Peering Network. For more details, see CDN Interconnect Pricing.

CDN Interconnect pricing

The special pricing for your traffic egressing from Google Cloud to a CDN provider is automatic. Google works with approved CDN partners in supported locations to allowlist provider IP addresses. This means that any data that you send to your allowlisted CDN provider from Google Cloud is charged at the reduced price. This reduced price applies only to IPv4 traffic. It does not apply to IPv6 traffic.

Traffic between Google Cloud and pre-approved CDN Interconnect locations is billed as follows:

  • Ingress traffic is free for all regions.
  • Egress traffic rates apply only to data leaving Compute Engine or Cloud Storage. Egress charges for CDN Interconnect appear on the invoice as Compute Engine Network Egress via Carrier Peering Network.

    For inter-region CDN Interconnect traffic rates, see Internet egress rates.

Intra-region pricing for CDN Interconnect applies only to intra-region egress traffic that is sent to Google-approved CDN Interconnect providers at specific locations that Google approves for those providers.

Consult with your CDN provider to verify that they are an approved provider, and if so, which of their CDN locations are approved for this program. They can help you set up your deployment to use intra-region egress routes when using Google Cloud as the origin source.

Continental location Intra-region CDN Interconnect traffic rate
NA $0.04/GB
EU $0.05/GB
APAC $0.06/GB
