GCP Compute Region Commitment

A GCP Compute Region Commitment is an agreement in which you purchase a predefined amount of vCPU, memory or GPU capacity in a specific region for a fixed term (one or three years) in return for a reduced hourly price. Commitments are applied automatically to matching usage within the chosen region, helping to lower running costs while guaranteeing a baseline level of capacity. For a detailed explanation of the feature, see the official documentation: https://docs.cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/regionCommitments/list.

gcp-compute-reservation​

A region commitment can be consumed by one or more compute reservations in the same region. When a reservation launches virtual machine instances, the resources they use are first drawn from any applicable commitments so that the discounted commitment pricing is applied automatically.
