What moves, and what it becomes on Exoscale
The services a typical Google Cloud bill is made of, graded by effort: 3 Easy, 10 Moderate, 3 Hard. On a real report each line carries your own cost and the ratio or usage model behind the figure.
| Service | Effort | On Exoscale |
|---|---|---|
| Compute Engine | Easy | Exoscale Compute instances or Exoscale dedicated instance pools (no bare metal) |
| Cloud Storage | Easy | Exoscale Simple Object Storage (SOS) (S3-compatible) |
| Cloud SQL | Moderate | PostgreSQL / MySQL on Exoscale Compute instances (Patroni or replicas, pgBackRest), or an Exoscale DBaaS database |
| GKE | Moderate | Exoscale Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS) |
| Cloud Run | Moderate | Knative on Exoscale SKS or Knative on Exoscale Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS) |
| BigQuery | Hard | ClickHouse on Exoscale dedicated instance pools (no bare metal) |
| Pub/Sub | Moderate | NATS JetStream / Redpanda on Exoscale Compute instances, or an Exoscale DBaaS database |
| Memorystore | Moderate | Valkey on Exoscale Compute instances, or an Exoscale DBaaS database |
| Cloud Load Balancing | Easy | Exoscale Network Load Balancer or HAProxy / Traefik |
| Cloud CDN | Moderate | Cloudflare or Bunny CDN in front of Exoscale |
| Cloud Logging | Moderate | Loki + Grafana |
| Cloud Functions | Moderate | Knative on Exoscale SKS, or long-running services on Exoscale Compute instances |
| Spanner | Hard | CockroachDB or YugabyteDB |
| Vertex AI | Hard | GPU dedicated servers + MLflow / Kubeflow |
| Dataflow | Moderate | Beam on the Apache Flink runner on Exoscale Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS) |
| Cloud Armor | Moderate | Cloudflare WAF or ModSecurity / Coraza |
Read the Google Cloud worked example for a full file taken end to end. Easy: a drop-in replacement. Moderate: the same software, self-hosted, so you patch, back up and fix it. Hard: no equivalent; redesign it, buy a SaaS, or leave it where it is. The full map, with every ratio and its derivation, is on the model page.
About Exoscale
Switzerland (Geneva, Zurich), Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Austria (Vienna), Bulgaria (Sofia)
A Swiss cloud under Swiss and EU jurisdiction, with managed Kubernetes, managed databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, OpenSearch), object storage, a network load balancer and GPU instances. Prices are per hour with no commitment and sit well above Hetzner; outbound traffic is metered. Choose Exoscale when data residency in Switzerland or Austria is the requirement, or when a managed layer from a European company is worth the premium.

How to get your Google Cloud export
- 1Enable the BigQuery billing export and save one invoice month as CSV.
- 2Drop it on the calculator.
- 3Read the net figure and change any assumption.
The exact clicks, console links and a sample file to compare against are under “Where do I get this file?” on the calculator.
Questions we get asked
- What file do I upload?
- One month of a cost export: an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR 2.0 or legacy, CSV or Parquet) or a Cost Explorer CSV, a Google Cloud BigQuery billing export saved as CSV, or an Azure Cost Management export. “Where do I get this file?” next to the upload box has the exact clicks for each.
- Is my data uploaded?
- No. The file is read inside this browser tab by DuckDB-WASM and never leaves it; you can watch the network tab while it runs. The only thing we ever receive is the address you type if you email yourself the link, plus anonymous counts of what was used.
- How accurate is this?
- Servers, storage and traffic are priced from your actual usage at list prices, so that part is as good as the price list. Managed services without a usage model (queues, search, analytics) are priced by a ratio from our service map and carry ±50%. Engineer time is an assumption you can edit. The report shows what share of the figure is priced from usage and gives a likely range rather than a single number. A Cost Explorer CSV has service totals only, so hosts are estimated from spend, roughly ±25%.
- Can I move only part of it?
- Yes, and that is often the right first step. Storage and egress-heavy workloads move easily and save the most per hour of effort; a managed database or a serverless stack can stay where it is. Filter the services table by grade to see what moves cleanly.
- What about compliance and latency?
- Every destination publishes GDPR documentation and most hold ISO 27001; SOC 2 reports and HIPAA agreements are rarer, so check that provider’s trust page before planning. On latency: for European users, moving from an EU hyperscaler region to Falkenstein, Gravelines, Paris or Amsterdam changes little; for US users choose a US location. A CDN in front stays as it is; the report prices it separately.
Your Google Cloud bill on Exoscale, in under a minute.
One month of a cost export is enough. It is read in your browser and never uploaded; only the number comes out. If the honest answer is “stay”, the report says so.
