Red Hat Enterprise Linux committed use discounts are resource-based commitments available for purchase in one-year terms, aiding in budget planning and maximizing savings for predictable workloads.
These discounts are project- and region-specific, automatically applying to running VM instances within the same region and project as the subscriptions.
Customers can save up to 20% on one-year commitments compared to on-demand prices for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CUDs are recommended for 24/7 workloads, offering potential savings if the instance is used consistently within the commitment duration.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux CUDs can be purchased through the Google Cloud console, allowing customization of commitments based on region, license family, type, and quantity.
Alternatively, Red Hat Enterprise Linux commitments can be bought using the Google Cloud CLI or Compute Engine API.
