The pricing for GCE is the most convoluted I've ever worked with... And it's still 2-3 times more expensive than alternatives like DO or dedicated hosting.

A lot of the time when people want auto-scaling, the thing that strikes me is that most of them wouldn't have needed auto-scaling if they picked a cheaper provider to beging with. Often they could pick a dedicated provider, spin up 3 times as much capacity and still pay less.
