Get your savings estimate

Sunset Announcement

DoiT no longer offers Flexsave for Google Cloud. Please take a moment to review the Flexsave for Google Cloud Sunset FAQ that we have prepared to address the most common questions you might have.

Note

We need to fetch a small amount of data from your GCP account to calculate your potential savings. See Security and Compliance for more information.

Get estimate

To get your savings estimate:

  1. Select Get estimate.

  2. Log in to the Google Cloud console to Enable discount sharing, if it's not enabled yet.

  3. When the new commitment scope becomes effective (it can take up to 48 hours), return to the Flexsave sign-up flow in the DoiT Console, select I confirm that I have enabled commitment sharing.

  4. Choose the status of your Cloud Billing account: within your organization, or owned by a partner.

  5. Enter the required information.

  6. Open the Google Cloud Shell, copy the command code snippets and run them in sequence in the shell.

Note

To grant permissions, you must have the Organization Administrator role.

If your Cloud Billing account is within your own organization:

  1. Create a custom role named DoiT Flexsave Role in your organization and grant it the recommender.usageCommitmentRecommendations.list permission.

    gcloud iam roles create doit_flexsave_role \
    --organization $ORGANIZATION_ID \
    --title="DoiT Flexsave Role" \
    --stage=GA \
    --permissions=recommender.usageCommitmentRecommendations.list
  2. Add an IAM policy binding to grant the doit_flexsave_role role to your DoiT service account.

    gcloud organizations add-iam-policy-binding $ORG_ID \
    --member=serviceAccount:$DoiT_service_account_email \
    --role=organizations/$ORG_ID/roles/doit_flexsave_role

This allows the service account to view resource-based Committed Use Discount (CUD) recommendations via Google's CUD recommender.
