Your finance team wants early notice if a project's Google Cloud spend approaches its monthly limit, but they do not want workloads to shut down automatically. Which Cloud Billing capability best meets this requirement?
Purchase committed use discounts for expected workloads.
Assign a custom IAM role to limit who can launch resources.
Create a Cloud Billing budget with alert thresholds.
Cloud Billing budgets let you set a planned spend amount for a billing account, project, or other resource and create percentage-based alert thresholds (for example, 50 %, 80 %, 100 %). When actual or forecasted charges exceed a threshold, notifications are sent by email and/or Pub/Sub, giving teams time to react while resources continue running. Custom roles, VPC Service Controls, and committed use discounts serve other purposes-managing IAM permissions, securing data boundaries, or reducing unit prices-without providing spend-based alerting.
