Committed use discounts
In Iowa (us-central1), a resource-based commitment takes 37% off the On-demand Linux rate for 1 year and 55% for 3 years, across the 57 C4 machine types priced there. You commit to an amount of C4 vCPU and memory in one region and pay for it whether you use it or not. Flexible (spend-based) commitments aren't shown.
