# Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) costs

> Compare Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) backend choices using explicit service-adapter planning assumptions.

Tensor9 Cloud Adapter planning comparisons for `google::1.0.0::compute::network`, with backend choices shown together. Read [how Tensor9 estimates service-adapter costs](https://docs.tensor9.com/cloud-adapter-early-access/costs/overview.md) for price scope and capacity qualification, or return to [additional services](https://docs.tensor9.com/cloud-adapter-early-access/costs/additional-services.md).

## Virtual network and NAT allocation (VPC network) → VPC

Origin API: `google::1.0.0::compute::network`. Target backend: `aws::1.0.0::vpc`.

**Designed mapping.** This cost model describes an intended adapter. Its estimated price does not establish a delivered or selectable backend.

### Virtual network and NAT allocation (VPC network) · Selected network GiB per month

Feature: Virtual network and NAT allocation (VPC network).

Estimated monthly service charges by Selected network GiB per month. Adapter hosting and Tensor9 fees are excluded. Source: us-central1; target: us-east-1; currency: USD.

Comparison pills describe all sampled scale points; amounts beside each service are for the named workload. Costs The Same means within 20% at every point. Costs Depend includes mixed results and unpriced samples.

Sampled monthly charges in USD, rounded to cents. Difference means target minus origin; a positive difference means the target costs more.

* Only this native meter varies; all other source usage and translation assumptions retain the displayed defaults. Other native meters and workload assumptions retain their explicitly displayed default quantities. Workload translation and capacity assumptions are not benchmark measurements.
* Native monthly usage priced at the cited provider list prices; listed target allowances apply where present, excluding invoice credits, taxes and negotiated discounts. Rates as of 2026-10-22: us-central1 → us-east-1, USD/month.
* Source prices are reference charges, not an invoice. Target lines cover selected service usage/configuration only; adapter hosting and Tensor9 fees are excluded.
* Samples of explicit prices are not performance measurements or capacity qualification. No interpolation or break-even guarantee is implied.
* Variant assumptions show the first axis sample; any axis-dependent configuration is described by this curve's workload note.
* Rates are cited provider list prices, editable for discounts, commitments or another region. Workload translation and capacity coefficients remain editable planning assumptions, not benchmark measurements or a commercial quote.
* Default-zero rates are explicit assumptions, not evidence that the deployed service or resource is free.
* Provisioned-unit minimums use an editable approximate allocation floor. Modeled target service cost is max(usage/allocation, minimum), with billable network, durable staging and dependent sinks added separately; actual RU/TU sizing, scaling increments and throughput remain unqualified.
* Durable staging is priced once: provisioned targets include adapter state in their selected allocation; native targets add a separate staging allocation when required. Adapter hosting is a separate allocation and must exclude resources already priced as staging, workers or target capacity.
* A declared adapter mapping and cost model do not establish implementation availability or service equivalence.
* This exact directed mapping has a design profile. Cost modeling does not establish an implemented or deployable adapter.
* Origin unit prices are cited provider list prices; capacity coefficients and translation assumptions are editable authored planning guesses, not measured capacity or a provider quote.
* Management requests do not reveal resource allocation or workload traffic. Provisioned resources and traffic are independent inputs.
* Resource-hours represent selected gateway allocation, not a claim that the network object has an hourly fee.
* Use matching source and target traffic scope: NAT processing, inter-zone transfer and internet egress are different meters.
* Resource-hours are the selected NAT/gateway allocation, not a fee for the network object; network GiB is the gateway's processed or transferred traffic. Free management API calls do not reveal network traffic. Internet egress (0.09/GB) is additional for traffic leaving AWS.
