Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 169

An organization is concerned about their cloud costs. They want to be informed when their spending exceeds a specific threshold, rather than waiting to see their bill at the end of the month. What should the organization do?

Answer options

• A. Pause virtual machines during non-business hours.
• B. Configure a budget threshold rule and alert.
• C. Adjust project resource quota policies.
• D. Use historical cost data to predict future overspend.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a budget threshold rule and alert will proactively notify the organization when spending exceeds a specified limit, thus preventing unexpected costs. Options A, C, and D do not provide real-time notifications regarding budget thresholds, and merely adjusting resource quotas or using historical data does not address immediate financial concerns.
