Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 150

You have designed a solution on Google Cloud that uses multiple Google Cloud products. Your company has asked you to estimate the costs of the solution. You need to provide estimates for the monthly total cost. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. For each Google Cloud product in the solution, review the pricing details on the products pricing page. Use the pricing calculator to total the monthly costs for each Google Cloud product.
• B. For each Google Cloud product in the solution, review the pricing details on the products pricing page. Create a Google Sheet that summarizes the expected monthly costs for each product.
• C. Provision the solution on Google Cloud. Leave the solution provisioned for 1 week. Navigate to the Billing Report page in the Cloud Console. Multiply the 1 week cost to determine the monthly costs.
• D. Provision the solution on Google Cloud. Leave the solution provisioned for 1 week. Use Cloud Monitoring to determine the provisioned and used resource amounts. Multiply the 1 week cost to determine the monthly costs.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it involves reviewing the specific pricing details for each Google Cloud product and using the pricing calculator to accurately estimate the total monthly costs. Option B lacks the use of the pricing calculator, making it less precise. Options C and D rely on actual usage over a week, which can lead to inaccurate monthly estimates, as costs can vary significantly based on usage patterns.
