Monthly hosting figures used to size the move off GCE.

Indicative monthly figures in USD, gathered while planning Move off Google Cloud. Check current pricing before committing.

Service Monthly Spec
VM 18 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD, 3 TB transfer
VM 24 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD, 4 TB transfer
VM 48 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD, 5 TB transfer
Worker 5
R2 3

Combined: roughly $26, $32, or $56 per month depending on the VM tier.

The 2 GB tier is the working baseline. The current GCE instance uses about 1.3 GB of 4.9 GB, so 2 GB is adequate with headroom.
