Dataplex Premium処理ティアの課金体系が変更されます

We’re writing to inform you that starting after April 13, 2025, billing for some Dataplex features will be unified with BigQuery. This means you will be billed under BigQuery SKUs instead of Dataplex-specific SKUs.

This change is part of our effort to offer a unified data and AI platform. This unified platform aims to streamline your data needs from engineering and governance to AI – into a single, integrated experience. This will simplify your operations and accelerate your data-driven initiatives.

The changes we are implementing to product billing and metering will simplify how you purchase and use Google Cloud data and analytics products.

Here are the key benefits of unified billing and metering:

Understand your usage across all products and services
Streamline how you buy data and analytics capabilities
Manage your data and AI solution spending more efficiently
This unified approach will help you accelerate your data and AI initiatives and achieve your business goals faster.

We understand this change may require some planning, and we have provided additional information below to help you with the transition.

What you need to know
Starting after April 13, 2025:

Your billing will transition from the Dataplex premium processing SKU (currently charged in DCU-hours) to the new BigQuery Data Governance SKU (charged in slot-hours). A 1:1 conversion will be applied between today’s DCU-hours to slot-hours. Note that there is no impact to the number of compute units you consume.
Similarly, we will be moving the Dataplex Metadata Storage SKU to the BigQuery Data Governance Metadata Storage SKU, with the same price point and metering unit.
Billing Changes

Pricing impact will be minimal. If you’re using the Dataplex Premium Processing SKU, price will be adjusted from $0.089/DCU-hr to $0.09/slot-hr in us-central1, with similar changes in other regions.

Here is an example of the updated SKU and price changes for Iowa region (us-central1):
