Your finance team asks for an easy way to keep monthly Google Cloud spending within planned limits and to receive early warnings when costs rise unexpectedly. Which Google Cloud capability best meets this financial governance requirement?
Apply resource quotas to restrict the number of VM cores per project.
Set up Cloud Billing budgets with threshold-based notifications.
Rely on automatic sustained use discounts for Compute Engine.
Purchase Committed Use Discounts for all long-running workloads.
Cloud Billing budgets let you set a target spend for a billing account, project, or label and configure threshold percentages that trigger email or Pub/Sub alerts. This provides predictable spend tracking and early notice if costs grow faster than expected. Sustained use discounts happen automatically but do not generate alerts. Resource quotas cap the amount of a service that can be consumed and are aimed at capacity management rather than cost monitoring. Committed Use Discounts lower prices for steady workloads but do not alert you when spending exceeds a budgeted amount.
