Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 247

Your organization runs many workloads in different Google Cloud projects, each linked to the same billing account. Each project's workload costs can vary from month to month, but the overall combined cost of all projects is relatively stable. Your organization needs to optimize its cost.
What should your organization do?

Answer options

• A. Purchase a commitment per project for each project's usual minimum
• B. Create a billing account per project, and link each project to a different billing account
• C. Turn on committed use discount sharing, and create a commitment for the combined usage
• D. Move all workloads from all different projects into one single consolidated project

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling committed use discount sharing allows the organization to benefit from discounts on their total combined usage rather than on a per-project basis. Options A and B do not take advantage of the overall stable costs across projects, while option D complicates management and does not provide any cost optimization benefits.
