This Extra Small Google Cloud deployment supports Sonatype Nexus Repository for workloads up to 50 requests per second. The primary cost driver is compute, accounting for over 70% of the $264 monthly total. This configuration explicitly disables high availability, meaning the single n2-standard-4 instance represents a single point of failure.
