GCP Compute Region Commitment

A GCP Compute Region Commitment represents a contractual agreement to pay for a certain amount of Compute Engine resources (such as vCPUs, memory, GPUs or local SSD) in a specific region for a fixed term (one or three years). In return, Google Cloud grants a significant discount compared with on-demand pricing. Commitments are purely a billing construct and do not in themselves guarantee capacity, but they can optionally be linked to reservations for that purpose.

gcp-compute-reservation​

A reservation holds actual capacity for virtual machines, whereas a region commitment provides discounted pricing for sustained usage. When a reservation is created, it can be backed by (or consume) an existing region commitment so that the reserved resources benefit from committed-use discounts. Overmind links a reservation to the commitment that funds it, allowing you to see both capacity guarantees and their associated billing obligations in one view.
