GCP Cloud Digital Leader Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| How can exporting billing data to BigQuery help in cost analysis? | It allows for custom queries and detailed analysis of billing data over time |
| How can Sustained Use Discounts benefit users? | They automatically lower costs as utilization increases over the billing cycle |
| How can you calculate the potential savings from Committed Use Discounts? | Use the GCP Pricing Calculator to compare costs with and without the commitment |
| How can you ensure cost control across multiple GCP projects? | Use budgets, cost alerts, and monitoring tools at the project level |
| How can you monitor resource usage over time in GCP? | Use the Cloud Billing Reports tool |
| How can you track costs for specific teams or departments using GCP? | Assign unique labels to resources and track spending by filtering costs in GCP Billing Reports |
| How does Cloud Operations Suite help with cost management? | It provides insights and monitoring to detect inefficiencies or potential cost-saving opportunities |
| How does GCP handle pricing for Preemptible VMs? | Preemptible VMs are offered at a significantly lower cost compared to regular VMs but can be terminated at any time by GCP |
| How does GCP's Pay-as-you-go model work? | You pay only for the services you use without upfront commitments |
| What are the three main GCP pricing models? | Pay-as-you-go, Sustained Use Discounts, and Committed Use Discounts |
| What does GCP stand for? | Google Cloud Platform |
| What happens when you exceed a GCP budget | but no alerts are set?,No warning is sent, and usage continues to incur costs, potentially exceeding the intended budget |
| What is a Committed Use Discount? | Discounts provided in exchange for committing to use a specific amount of resources for 1 or 3 years |
| What is a good practice for monitoring GCP costs? | Set up budget alerts to track spending and prevent cost overruns |
| What is a primary advantage of the Pay-as-you-go model? | Flexibility and no upfront costs for resources |
| What is a recommendation for optimizing GCP expenses? | Turn off unused resources to avoid being billed |
| What is a Sustained Use Discount? | Automatic discounts applied when you use certain resources for a significant portion of the billing month |
| What is resource tagging and why is it important in GCP? | Tagging resources with labels helps organize, track costs, and optimize spending |
| What is the benefit of using GCP Billing Reports? | To analyze and track your usage and costs in detail |
| What is the difference between Sustained Use Discounts and Committed Use Discounts? | Sustained Use Discounts are automatic and based on usage while Committed Use Discounts require a long-term resource commitment for lower rates |
| What is the importance of regional pricing in GCP? | Costs can vary based on the geographic region where resources are deployed |
| What is the pricing model for Network Egress in GCP? | Pricing is based on the volume of data transferred out from GCP to the internet or between regions |
| What is the purpose of the GCP Pricing Calculator? | To estimate costs for using GCP services |
| What is the Recommender tool in GCP? | A tool that provides suggestions to optimize resource usage and reduce costs |
| What is the role of labels in cost management for GCP? | They allow you to categorize and track resource costs |
| What is the role of the Cloud Billing API? | It allows developers to programmatically access billing data to integrate with other tools and services |
| What is the role of the Spend-Based Discount program? | It gives enterprise customers additional cost benefits based on committed monthly spending |
| What is the use of SKU in GCP billing? | SKUs in GCP identify individual services or products for detailed cost tracking |
| What tool can provide early warning for unusual spending in GCP? | Budget alerts or notifications |
| What tool in GCP allows you to estimate the cost of running workloads? | Pricing Calculator |
