Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 12

You need to create a new billing account and then link it with an existing Google Cloud Platform project. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Verify that you are Project Billing Manager for the GCP project. Update the existing project to link it to the existing billing account.
• B. Verify that you are Project Billing Manager for the GCP project. Create a new billing account and link the new billing account to the existing project.
• C. Verify that you are Billing Administrator for the billing account. Create a new project and link the new project to the existing billing account.
• D. Verify that you are Billing Administrator for the billing account. Update the existing project to link it to the existing billing account.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it specifies the need to verify the Project Billing Manager role and to create a new billing account specifically for linking with the existing project. Options A and D involve linking to an existing billing account without creating a new one, which does not meet the requirement. Option C is incorrect as it suggests creating a new project instead of linking a new billing account to the existing project.
