## Announcement
New pricing for Cloud Storage takes effect October 1, 2022\. Since the cost of Container Registry storage and network egress is based on Cloud Storage pricing, this new pricing applies to Container Registry usage.
The most relevant change for Container Registry is the new [network egress pricing](https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#network-pricing) for Cloud Storage:
* Reading data in a Cloud Storage bucket located in a multi-region from a Google Cloud service located in a region on the same continent is no longer free. Instead, such moves are priced the same as general data moves between different locations on the same continent. Since Container Registry only runs in multi-regions, egress to services that only run in regions like Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is always charged.
* Network egress within Google Cloud no longer depends on the monthly egress traffic you have from your bucket. Instead, pricing is only determined by the locations involved.
Artifact Registry does not currently charge for network egress from a multi-regional repository to a Google Cloud service in a region on the same continent. [Learn about transitioning to Artifact Registry](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/transition/transition-from-gcr).
