> finding creative new ways to charge our customers more money.

This is what I'm worried about, because it's the second time this year that GCP started charging for something that was previously included. Back in January they started charging $2.92 per month for in-use IP addresses.

The IP charge might be justifiable because of IPv4 scarcity (although their major competitors still include IPs), but with today's announcement coming just a couple months later, I'm worried they're going to start nickel-and-diming us. I'll be skeptical of any new GCP services that are advertised as having no extra cost.
