Gcore Finops

FinOps view of Gcore platform spend. Gcore bills each service on its own usage model: CDN and Streaming on delivered traffic (per GB, regional); Cloud compute per instance hour with GPU billed per second; Object Storage per GB-hour stored; DNS per query volume / plan; Everywhere Inference per second of compute; FastEdge per invocation/compute. Spend is best managed by tagging API keys and projects per workload and mapping each metered service to an internal cost center.
