Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 181

Your company completed the acquisition of a startup and is now merging the IT systems of both companies. The startup had a production Google Cloud project in their organization. You need to move this project into your organization and ensure that the project is billed to your organization. You want to accomplish this task with minimal effort. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use the projects.move method to move the project to your organization. Update the billing account of the project to that of your organization.
• B. Ensure that you have an Organization Administrator Identity and Access Management (IAM) role assigned to you in both organizations. Navigate to the Resource Manager in the startup’s Google Cloud organization, and drag the project to your company's organization.
• C. Create a Private Catalog for the Google Cloud Marketplace, and upload the resources of the startup's production project to the Catalog. Share the Catalog with your organization, and deploy the resources in your company’s project.
• D. Create an infrastructure-as-code template for all resources in the project by using Terraform, and deploy that template to a new project in your organization. Delete the project from the startup’s Google Cloud organization.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using the projects.move method allows for a straightforward transfer of the project to your organization with minimal effort, followed by updating the billing account. Option B is incorrect as dragging projects via the Resource Manager is not a supported method. Option C involves unnecessary steps of creating a Private Catalog, and Option D requires extensive work to recreate the project, making both options less efficient.
