GCP Marketplace

One GCP bill for managed Instaclustr services. Subscribing to NetApp Instaclustr through Google Cloud Marketplace links your Instaclustr account to your Google Cloud billing account. Usage of your managed data services then arrives on the same monthly Google Cloud invoice as the rest of your cloud spend, with no separate Instaclustr contract or payment method to set up.

The subscription is the only thing that changes. You still create and operate clusters in the Instaclustr Console, you still get the same managed service and support, and the commercial terms match signing up with Instaclustr directly — Marketplace is purely a different route to purchase and pay.

This guide walks through the three things you need to get right: choosing the deployment model that matches where your clusters will run, completing the Marketplace subscription and linking it to an Instaclustr account, and knowing how pricing, invoicing, and scope work once you are live. Before you start, make sure you have a Google Cloud project with billing enabled and permission to purchase Marketplace offers on that billing account.

Understand billing

Pricing display

Cluster and add-on costs appear in Instacredits. Use the Pricing tab to convert Instacredits to USD.

Invoice route

Service usage charges are included on your monthly Google Cloud bill.

Commercial parity

Marketplace charges are the same as signing up with Instaclustr directly.

Scope

A subscription purchased through GCP Marketplace can only be used to create clusters on Google Cloud infrastructure.

Unsubscribing deletes all clusters in the linked account

Unsubscribe in GCP Marketplace only when you intend to remove the service. If this happens accidentally, contact [email protected] immediately—the recovery window before permanent data loss is very limited.
