Cloud Dataproc is very cheap—the pricing as low as 1 cent per virtual CPU in the cluster per hour on top of other Cloud Platform resources. Also, you can involve the pre-emptible instances in Cloud Dataproc clusters that may have lower computation prices on an hourly basis; this can reduce the costs to a great extent, effectively leading to huge savings. Cloud Dataproc charges for second-by-second billing and a low 1-minute minimum billing period instead of rounding the usage up to the nearest hour, which is the case with most other cloud vendors.
