Google Associate-Cloud-Engineer Question Answer

You are managing a new project for a web application on Google Cloud. The web application is running on a Compute Engine VM, and your team has a strict budget. You have already created a budget in Cloud Billing and set an alert rule to send an email when 90% of the budget is consumed. You must ensure that project spending automatically stops if it exceeds the budgeted amount. What should you do?

Create a new Cloud Billing account, and associate the project with it to prevent new spending from affecting your project ' s budget.

Create a Pub/Sub topic, and connect it to the budget. Create a Cloud Run function that subscribes to the Pub/Sub topic and executes code to stop the VM.

Use the Cloud Billing dashboard to identify the forecasted spend of your project, and then update the budget and alert to match the forecasted spend.

Rely on the budget ' s configuration to automatically disable billable resources when the spend reaches 100%.
