I'm not sure it's apples to oranges, though. Out of the box Kubernetes provides some, but not all, of what Cloud Foundry provides.
When you say "so many foundational components", you're right: CF is featuresome and opinionated. That's the whole idea. With Kubernetes you can absolutely assemble all the other parts yourself and wire them together to taste, but that will chew up some of your 32Gb. And our calculations should expand to include engineering time, which is, last time I checked, quite expensive.
I'll definitely give Google due credit for competitive pricing though. For that price, and given their expertise, it'd be silly to self-host Kubernetes if you could use GCP.
