We are introducing a new preset custom metric GCE CUD Coverage to make it easy for our Google Cloud customers to gauge the utilization of the Google CUDs. This metric is built on top of two new preset attributions, - “GCP CUD Commitments” and “GCP Eligible for CUD”.

The “GCP CUD Commitments” attribution captures purchased Google Cloud Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) across all machine types and regions. The “GCP Eligible for CUD” attribution lists Google Cloud resources eligible for committed use discounts.

There also is a new preset report “GCP Compute CUD Coverage” displaying the metric and thus effectively rendering the CUD utilization as a heatmap. 

Amounts less than 100% mean that not all on-demand usage is covered by CUDs, more than 100% means that there are unused/underutilized CUDs.
