Ensuring successful operation of a cloud solution

You want to cut GCP service costs for one division of your company, using as few steps as possible, by turning off all the services that are currently configured in an existing GCP project. What should you do?

  • A
    1. Verify that you are assigned the Project Owners IAM role for this project. 2. Locate the project in the GCP console, click Shut down and then enter the project ID.
  • B
    1. Verify that you are assigned the Project Owners IAM role for this project. 2. Switch to the project in the GCP console, locate the resources and delete them.
  • C
    1. Verify that you are assigned the Organizational Administrator IAM role for this project. 2. Locate the project in the GCP console, enter the project ID and then click Shut down.
  • D
    1. Verify that you are assigned the Organizational Administrators IAM role for this project. 2. Switch to the project in the GCP console, locate the resources and delete them.
Explanation

Shutting down the entire project is the fastest way to stop all billing for its services, since it disables all resources at once rather than requiring you to locate and delete each resource individually. To shut down a project you need the Owner (Project Owners) IAM role, which includes the resourcemanager.projects.delete permission, not an Organization Administrator role (which governs the organization node, not individual project deletion). In the Google Cloud console, you locate the project, click Shut down, and confirm by entering the project ID, which stops all billing and resource usage for that project in minimal steps.
