Why this sizing

Sonatype Nexus Repository at the extra small tier maps to the xs reference architecture on Google Cloud in us-central1. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 74% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Repository carries the heaviest storage footprint at 400 GB.
