** Google Cloud Platform (GCP) users can optimize costs by using Standard mode instead of Autopilot, according to a recent analysis. While Autopilot offers simplified management and integrated services, it comes with additional fees. Standard mode, on the other hand, allows for more cost-effective usage, even when considering VM spot prices and Committed Use Discounts (CUDs). Users can achieve further savings by managing node pools manually and using Custom Compute Classes.
