According to my records (which might be wrong?), they raised the price on their highmem instances, from $0.096/hour to $0.1184/hour for n1-highmem-2. This sucks for me, because I use mostly use highmem instances.

g1-small and n1-highmem-2 US prices were actually lowered by ~5%. You can see the old prices here: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20170304211331/https://cloud....

In general, Compute Engine's US region got a 5% price drop, Europe got a 4.9% drop and Asia (Japan) got an 8% drop.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

No prices went up. I think you might be comparing the list rate to the rate if you use the VM continuously (i.e. if you get full sustained use discounts)
