Hidden costs

  • Outbound bandwidth billed at $0.005/GB (compute/storage) or $0.015/GB (NodeBalancer) once pooled network transfer allowance is exceeded
  • Backups service is a separate add-on priced per instance (roughly 20-25% of the instance monthly price)
  • HA control plane for LKE Kubernetes is a flat $60/mo add-on per cluster; LKE Enterprise clusters are $300/mo per cluster
  • Managed Database HA (3-node) clusters cost roughly 2-3x the single-node price
