Data processing fee
The Cloud Armor Enterprise data processing fee meters the data transferred to the internet from all protected resources for every project that is enrolled in Cloud Armor Enterprise. When you use Cloud Armor Enterprise Annual, the data processing fee is billed at the project level, but usage is aggregated across all protected resources in all projects enrolled in Cloud Armor Enterprise Annual. When you use Cloud Armor Enterprise Paygo, the data processing fee is billed and usage is aggregated at the project level. The Cloud Armor Enterprise data processing fee is separate from the Cloud Load Balancing data processing fee.
Prices are per GiB transferred to the internet directly or through Carrier Peering, and are in addition to other data transfer fees. For example, for workloads behind a supported Google Cloud load balancer, the data processing fee meters the bits data transferred to the internet through the enrolled load balancer endpoints but does not meter the associated inter-region or inter-zone traffic by the underlying workload. The charge is $0.05 per GiB data transferred for the first 100 TiB and $0.04 per GiB for the next 400 TiB. If the content being served is using Cloud CDN and is considered cacheable, then the data processing fee for Cloud CDN is applied for that content. The following table contains complete pricing.

If a backend service has a Cloud Armor security policy associated with it, you can use the custom headers feature with that backend service without any additional charge for the custom headers feature.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Google Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
