About egress traffic

[binhua]

Hello guys,

My understanding of egress and ingress is a bit confusing.

For example, I have a website on Google Cloud VM.

Someone visited the website - this is ingress.

My website is displayed to this person - this is egress, and I need to pay for this.

Am I right?  Thank you.

Hi @binhua ,

You are correct regarding your understanding for ingress and egress. A traffic leaving the a Google Cloud resource, for example a VM, then it is counted as egress. If it is arriving the VM, then it is ingress. 

Once your website is accessed by a device, then that's the time you are going to be charged. You can check the details of pricing here on this documentation.
