Full Answer
B.Create a Cloud Billing Budget for $10,000 and configure an alert rule to trigger at 100% of forecasted spend.✓ Correct
Create a Cloud Billing Budget for $10,000 and configure an alert rule to trigger at 100% of forecasted spend.
Google Cloud Billing Budgets allow you to set budget amounts and configure alert thresholds. Crucially, alerts can be triggered based on 'Actual' spend or 'Forecasted' spend. Setting an alert for 100% of forecasted spend ensures the CFO is notified early in the month if the current run rate will exceed the $10,000 limit.
Common mistakes
Assuming quotas can limit dollar spend (C). Quotas are resource-based, not currency-based.
