Remediation

Review commitments that are approaching expiration and determine whether to renew, purchase a new commitment with different terms, or allow the existing commitment to expire. Taking timely action helps preserve cost savings and prevents unexpected billing increases.

Using the Google Cloud Console​

  1. Review Usage and Recommendations

    • Navigate to the commitment’s overview to evaluate its utilization over the commitment term.
    • Review Google Cloud’s recommendations, which may include renewing the commitment, adjusting the amount of resources, or selecting a different type or term.
    • Assess whether the commitment has delivered cost benefits and if your current or projected usage justifies a new commitment.

  2. Take Action

    • If continued coverage is required, purchase a new commitment with the same or modified terms.
    • If the commitment is no longer needed (e.g., associated resources have been decommissioned), take no action. The commitment will expire automatically if automatic renewal disabled, and resources will revert to on-demand rates.
    • If requirements have changed, acquire a commitment with a different scope, term, or resource type that better aligns with your organization’s needs.
