Google Cloud -Network Service Tiers

Network Service Tiers

Network Service Tiers lets you optimize connectivity between systems on the internet and your Google Cloud instances.

Network Service Tiers, Google Cloud enables you to optimize your cloud network for performance by choosing the Premium Tier or for cost with the new Standard Tier.

Premium Tier

Premium Tier delivers traffic over Google’s well-provisioned, low-latency, highly reliable global network. This network consists of an extensive global private fiber network with over 100 points of presence (POPs) across the globe.

Standard Tier

Standard Tier is a new lower-cost offering. This tier provides network quality that is comparable to other public cloud providers (but lower than Premium Tier) and regional network services such as Regional Load Balancing with one VIP per region.

The standard tier is priced lower than the Premium because your traffic between Google Cloud and your end-user (Internet) is delivered over transit (ISP) networks instead of Google’s network.
