Hi @louisdeveloper

Take a look at this [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-billing-dimensions.html)

The Costs Are Detailed [Here](https://cloud.elastic.co/deployment-pricing-table?provider=gcp&region=gcp-us-central1)

In short from an Elastic Cloud perspective

- Data Ingress is Free
- Data Egress is Charged per rate in the table above

What other billing dimensions (GCP network charges intra zone / region etc) you have with GCP and your Architecture we will not be able to readily comment on those.
