Your startup has a strict monthly cloud budget of $500. You want to be notified via email when your Google Cloud spending reaches 50%, 90%, and 100% of this amount. You do NOT want GCP to automatically shut down your resources if the budget is exceeded.

What should you configure?

Answer options:

Create a budget in Cloud Billing and set threshold alert rules at 50%, 90%, and 100%.

Configure a quota limit of $500 in the IAM & Admin console.

Set up a Cloud Function triggered by billing exports to delete resources when spending reaches $500.

Enable the 'Hard Cap' feature in Cloud Billing and set it to $500.

How to approach this question

Understand how GCP billing budgets and alerts function natively.

Full Answer

A.Create a budget in Cloud Billing and set threshold alert rules at 50%, 90%, and 100%.✓ Correct

Create a budget in Cloud Billing and set threshold alert rules at 50%, 90%, and 100%.

Google Cloud Billing allows you to create budgets and set alert thresholds (e.g., 50%, 90%, 100%). By default, these alerts only send email notifications to billing administrators and do not affect resource state or prevent further spending.

Common mistakes

Assuming budget alerts automatically stop resources when the threshold is reached.
