Google will release a cheaper version of its cloud networking offering, which it claims is still as good as those offered by its public cloud competitors.
GCP users are using the Premium tier today, but the Standard Tier - which is currently in alpha testing - is available at a lower cost.
Urs Hölzle, SVP of technical infrastructure at Google, said: "Over the last 18 years we [have] built the world's largest network, which by some accounts delivers 25 to 30 per cent of all internet traffic.
"You enjoy the same infrastructure with Premium Tier. But for some use cases, you may prefer a cheaper, lower-performance alternative.
"With Network Service Tiers, you can choose the network that's right for you, for each application."
Google said the Standard Tier is available at a lower rate because it uses ISP networks to deliver traffic to a user's cloud applications, rather than its own private network - which is used for the likes of Google Search and YouTube.
