Question 7
Within your company, each developer possesses an individual development Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project associated with a central billing account. You have recommended that they establish alerts for any situations where a developer exceeds a monthly expenditure of $500. What actions should they take to implement these alerts?
-
A
Export billing data from all development projects to a single BigQuery dataset. Use a Data Studio dashboard to plot expenses.
-
B
They should set up a budget for each development projects. Then, set an alert for each budget when expenses exceed $ 500.
-
C
They should set up a single budget for all development projects. Then, set an alert for budget when expenses exceed $ 500.
-
D
They should set up a single budget for all development projects. Then, set an alert for budget when expenses exceed $ 500 multiplied by the number of developers.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
It does not provide a straightforward way to set up individual alerts for each developer's project when expenses exceed $500. It focuses more on analyzing expenses collectively rather than monitoring individual project budgets.
B.
Setting up a budget for each development project and then setting an alert for each budget when expenses exceed $500 is the recommended approach. By creating separate budgets for each project, developers can track their individual expenses and receive alerts when they exceed the defined threshold. This ensures that each developer is notified when their expenditures reach or surpass the specified limit.
C.
It is not the most suitable solution for this scenario. Since each developer has their own individual project associated with a central billing account, it is more appropriate to have separate budgets and alerts for each project to monitor their specific expenditures.
D.
It is not necessary or efficient. Each developer's project should be monitored individually, and setting up a separate budget and alert for each project is more appropriate than multiplying the budget threshold by the number of developers.
