Estimating GKE costs in the GCP pricing calculator for a workload needing high IOPS and disk snapshots: after entering node count and hours/days, what do you add next?

To accurately estimate GKE costs for a workload requiring high IOPS and disk snapshots, you need to account for the storage resources. Local SSDs provide high IOPS performance for your GKE nodes. Persistent Disk storage is necessary for your application data, and snapshot storage accounts for the cost of backing up that data. Adding estimated cost for cluster management is incorrect because GKE cluster management fees are typically included in the overall GKE service cost, not a separate line item you manually add in the calculator. Selecting Add GPUs is incorrect as the question specifies high IOPS and disk snapshots, not GPU-accelerated workloads.
