Google Cloud Platform Setup optimization

Hi @Serpentz01.

Thanks for reaching out.

The cost will mostly depend on the instance type you select for your deployment, and the number of nodes. You should be okay with 2 x e2-small instances, which should amount to about $36 per month for the two nodes.

I hope that helps!

Hi @DeVille_1P

Can you elaborate how you counted this ?

I'll share my number: (Per Day)

I created the cluster using your marketplace apps.

Zonal Kubernetes Clusters Management Fee: 2.40$
(E2-SMALL)
E2 Instance Core 0.29$
E2 Instance Ram 0.15$
Storage PD Capacity default 100GB image boot disk 0.15$
Network Load Balancing: Forwarding Rule Minimum Service Charge 0.60$
External IP Charge reservation: 0.10$

Daily Cost: ~ 3.69$ / Day
Monthly: ~ 112$ / month (the config above is for 1 E2-Small node running 24/7)

See info about Google GKE management fee here:
https://www.theregister.com/2020/03/05/google_reintroduces_management_fee_for_kubernetes_clusters/

So we can play with the default storage 100 GB associated to the node pool, I lowered it to 12 GB.
This change save about 4.40$ per month.

Management fee and Network LB are the what cost the most in this configuration...

*GKE management fee can be wave if this is your first GKE zonal cluster in your billing account.

Is there any other 1Password Admin that use GCP for their SCIM Bridge willing to share their number?

Regards,

Hi @Serpentz01,

The cost estimate we gave was cost per node, not cost per cluster. Of course, we cannot account for costs incurred based on other Kubernetes clusters you may be running. As you pointed out, if you already have Kubernetes clusters running in your GCP account, a Kubernetes management fee will be applied for an additional cluster.

If you are finding that cost prohibitive, we have an https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/1password-scim-bridge on the Digital Ocean Kubernetes store you could use. You will note, they https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes a Kubernetes Management fee. From looking at their https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/calculator, that should be around $20-$25/mo.

Let me know what further questions you have.
