Question

You are analyzing and defining business processes to support your startup’s trial use of GCP, and you do not yet know the consumer demand for your product. Your manager requires that you minimize GCP service costs and follow Google best practices. What should you do?

A Utilize free tier and sustained use discounts. Provision a staff position for service cost management.
B Utilize free tier and sustained use discounts. Provide training to the team about service cost management.
C Utilize free tier and committed use discounts. Provision a staff position for service cost management.
D Utilize free tier and committed use discounts. Provide training to the team about service cost management.

Explanation

Committed use discounts are intended for predictable, steady resource usage and require a one- or three-year commitment, so they are not appropriate when demand is unknown. Eligible sustained use discounts accrue automatically with continued usage, while the free tier helps reduce trial costs. Google Cloud also recommends fostering cost awareness across the organization so team members can make cost-effective decisions, which supports training the team rather than creating a dedicated cost-management position.
