Question 1

A company exports GCP billing data to BigQuery. What is a key advantage of using BigQuery for billing analysis over the standard Billing Console?

Accepted Answer

BigQuery allows custom SQL queries and joining with non-GCP data sources

Answer

BigQuery billing export enables custom SQL analysis and lets you join cloud cost data with internal business data like revenue or headcount.

Question 2

Which statement about GCP Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) is correct?

Accepted Answer

CUDs are flexible and apply to any matching resource usage across a project or billing account

Answer

Resource-based CUDs apply to any usage matching the committed resource type within the project or billing account, not to specific VM instances.

Question 3

An organization wants to enforce that no GCP resource is created in regions outside North America to control data transfer costs. Which tool enforces this?

Accepted Answer

Organization Policy Service resource location constraints

Answer

Organization Policy Service allows enforcing resource location constraints that prevent resource creation in unapproved regions across the entire organization.

Question 4

What is the minimum number of hours a Preemptible VM (now Spot VM) must run before it can be preempted by GCP?

Accepted Answer

There is no guaranteed minimum runtime

Answer

Spot VMs can be preempted at any time with a 30-second notice; GCP provides no guaranteed minimum runtime before preemption.

Question 5

A financial services firm requires that all GCP cost reports include a specific project-level cost center code for internal chargebacks. What mechanism enables this?

Accepted Answer

Resource labels applied at project creation with the cost center value

Answer

Resource labels on projects (e.g., cost-center=CC-1234) propagate to billing data export, enabling chargeback reports filtered by cost center code.
