About the chart: An output chart from CLIPPERTM Simple Calculator for Google Cloud AppEngine Instances Deployment & Management MobileForce's CLIPPERTM Service has now released a Simple Fee Calculator for computing your App Engine Deployment's Likely Monthly Bill. The Google Cloud AppEngine is an optimal instance package for SMBs that require a service where almost all aspects of cloud deployment and management are outsourced to CSPs, leaving the SMBs to focus on code development, testing, and release. The Google Cloud App Engine is ideal for moderate sized applications (it cannot be used for big data, high performance computing, and other complex application infrastructure) as Google

Cloud has designed the AppEngine Instances Bundle around processing power, operations, and storage at moderate capacities. In return you save on administration and other infrastructure operations costs such as load balancing and protocol forwarding etc. Also, there are some networking advantages to App Engine as Google Cloud makes Virtual IPs available only for the App Engine VMs but not for their regular compute engine VMs, where only static IPs are available. We will be happy to consult and use our tools to get you the best-fit solution for your application needs.

What does the CLIPPERTM Simple Calculator do for an SMB? MobileForce's CLIPPERTM Service has now released a Simple Fee Calculator for computing your App Engine Deployment's Likely Monthly Bill. This is the only calculator you would need to price out the AppEngine instances pricing along with associated services. The CLIPPERTM Simple Fee Calculator for Google Cloud AppEngine services captures pricing inputs for 17 components associated with AppEngine in domains such as VM instances, instance storage, general purpose storage, networking services including ingress and egress fees by origin and destination zones, memory Cache Storage and operations, Special Purpose Storage Operations for NoSQL data stores, Search Operations, Indexing, and Indexed Document storage and so much more. The CLIPPERTM Simple Fee Calculator also automatically applies the sustained use discount that Google has created in an innovative way (based on instance utilization rates) but is a hard to apply parameter. Additional metrics including the ability to view fees paid to CSPs per unit of the main service you availed helps SMBs normalize and truly compare their payouts across different CSP vendors. Below are a few screenshots of the tool to demonstrate our expertise in cloud computing pricing. A mobile version of the tool is also available on the Android Play Store for only $4.99.

A typical use case (as shown in the CLIPPERTM tool's screens above) ends up costing an SMB about $281 per month in fees. We have assumed about 10 instances running at an average 81% capacity utilization (which got you our dear customer a 23% sustained use discount from Google Cloud; Google Cloud does not provide volume discounts), meaning you have used around 5800 instance hours out of a maximum 7200 instance hours during the month. CLIPPERTM tool clearly tells you what resources are included in base amounts and when you have to start paying for overage. We have also spilt the services offered by CSPs into MAIN SERVICES and ADDITIONAL SERVICES. MAIN SERVICES are things such as instance types and ADDITIONAL SERVICES are typically resources and operations need to manage the MAIN SERVICE (in this case the AppEngine pre-configured general purpose instances). Our tool also tells you what FREE resources Google Cloud Services includes in your base tiers. As Google Cloud changes its pricing dynamics and pre-configured instance bundles, MobileForce team works hard to keep the CLIPPERTM tool and consulting materials updated. The tool lets you do What-ifs on one-period snapshot of what it will cost you as you permute among 17 different resource types.
