How Will Pricing Changes Affect Users? That ‘Depends’

When it comes to Google Cloud’s upcoming pricing changes, here’s what Gupta has to say:

“The impact of the pricing changes depends on customers’ use cases and usage. While some customers may see an increase in their bills, we’re also introducing new options for some services to better align with usage, which could lower some customers’ bills. In fact, many customers will be able to adapt their portfolios and usage to decrease costs. We’re working directly with customers to help them understand which changes may impact them.”

Customers under existing contracts, with a floating or fixed discount, will not see any changes until renewal, Gupta said.

“Our goal is to help our customers manage any impact of these changes and allow time for them to adjust or modify their implementations,” he added.

But speaking of time, did Google Cloud give enough to some of its recently laid-off support employees? Go to the next slide.
