A startup wants predictable Google Cloud spend by setting a monetary cap on a specific project and receiving email notifications when 50 percent and 80 percent of that cap are reached. Which Cloud Billing feature provides this cost-control mechanism?
Cloud Billing budgets let administrators specify a target spend amount for a billing account, folder, or project and configure threshold rules (for example, 50 % or 80 %) that trigger email or Pub/Sub alerts as actual costs approach the set budget. Quotas restrict resource usage, not money. Committed use discounts lower prices in exchange for a long-term usage commitment but do not cap monthly spend or send alerts. Exporting billing data to BigQuery supports detailed analysis but does not automatically enforce caps or generate threshold notifications.
