Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 107

You need to reduce GCP service costs for a division of your company using the fewest possible steps. You need to turn off all configured services in an existing
GCP project. What should you do?

Answer options

• 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.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it accurately describes the process of shutting down a project in GCP, which involves verifying the Project Owners IAM role and using the Shut down option in the console. Options B, C, and D either suggest deleting resources instead of shutting down the project or incorrectly reference the necessary IAM roles, making them less effective for the desired outcome.
