GCP bill calls to storage buckets from the same zone?

GCP bill requests to storage objects in the same zone? I didn't find this in the documentation.

Example: if I will use GS as Key/Value storage, internally inside of one zone, I will pay only for storage or for requests too?

Google Cloud Storage (GCS) charges on a per-operation rate, regardless of whether you're making calls from the same region. Per-operation costs vary based on storage class and what type of call, but it's around 5-10 cents per 10,000 operations.

Google Cloud Storage separately charges you for data egress, and egress is mostly free within a region, but the operations themselves still have their cost.

If your goal is to frequently access/mutate a large key/value table with relatively small values, Cloud Bigtable is likely to be a cheaper and faster option. If your goal is to store comparatively large objects, GCS is likely to be a better choice. If you have a good idea of what sort of operations you're likely going to use, I highly suggest using the pricing calculator to estimate your costs.

Per the Google Cloud Storage Pricing, you are charged both for the data you store and inbound/outbound operations (requests). This means that you will be charged an amount of $ per month based on the storage class and bucket location and any operations that are performed within Google Cloud Storage. Google Cloud Platform has a Pricing Calculator to help you calculate the pricing you would incur using Google Cloud Platform products. I recommend you to check it out.
