Resource Management

Question 1

What is hierarchy which resource manger manages

Answer 1

The resource manager lets you hierarchically manage resources by project, folder, and organization.

Question 2

What are policies

Answer 2

Policies contain a set of roles and members, and policies are set on resources.
These resources inherit policies from their parent, but child policies can not restrict accesses granted on parent level

Question 3

how are accumulated IAM policies, and how billing is accumulated

Answer 3

IAM policies are inherited top to bottom, billing is accumulated from the bottom up, as we can see on the right.

Question 4

How is resource consumption measured

Answer 4

Resource consumption is measured in quantities like rate of use or time, number of items, or feature use.

Question 5

what is billing assigned to

Answer 5

Because a resource belongs to only one project, a project accumulates the consumption of all its resources.
Each project is associated with one billing account, which means that an organization contains all billing accounts.

Question 6

Who track resources and quota usage.
and manages permissions and credentials

Answer 6

Because a project accumulates the consumption of all its resources, it can be used to track resources and quota usage.

Specifically, projects that you enable billing, manage permissions and credentials, and enabled service and APIs.

Question 7

how is project identified for the billing

Answer 7

A project can be identified by the project name,project number, which is automatically generated by the server and assigned to your project,
and there is the Project ID, which is a unique ID that is generated from your project name.

Question 8

How are resources categoreized from a physical standpoint

Answer 8

From a physical organization standpoint, resources are categorized as
- global (Images, snapshots, networks)
- regional (External IP addresses)
- zonal (instances and disks)

Question 9

What are Quotas

Answer 9

Quotas are the maximum amount of resources you can create (per project) for that resource type as long as those resources are available.
All resources in Google Cloud are subject to project quotas or limits.

Question 10

What are quota categories

Answer 10

1. How many resources you can a project create? (you can only have 15 VPC networks per project)
   2.How quickly you can make API requests in a project or rate limits. (you can only make five administrative actions per second per project when using the Cloud Spanner API)
   3.Regional quotas (you can only have 24 CPUs per region)

Question 11

Can quotas be increased

Answer 11

you can proactively request quota adjustments from the quotas page in the Cloud console.

Question 12

What are quotas for

Answer 12

Project quotas prevent runaway consumption in case of error or malicious attack.
(imagine you accidentally create 100 instead of 10 Compute Engine instances using the G Cloud command line)
Quotas also prevent billing spikes or surprises.
For sizing consideration and periodic review.

Question 13

What are labels

Answer 13

Labels we just learned are user-defined strings and key-value formats that are used to organize resources and they can propagate true billing. You can attach labels to your resources, like VMs, disks, snapshots and images.

Question 14

Difference between labels and tags

Answer 14

Tags, on the other hand, are user-defined strings that are applied to instances only and are mainly used for networking, such as applying firewall rules.

Question 15

Main use of labels

Answer 15

Inventory
Filter resources
in scripts (help analize costs, run bulk operations)

Question 16

How can you create and manage labels, and what is quota per resource

Answer 16

using the Google Cloud Console, gcloud or the Resource Manager API.
Each resource can have up to 64 labels.

Question 17

How do you set a budget

Answer 17

You set a budget name and specify which project this budget applies to.
Then you can set the budget at a specific amount or match it to the previous month’s spend.
After you determine your budget amount, you can set the budget alerts.

Question 18

What are budget alerts

Answer 18

alerts send emails to billing admins after spend exceeds a percentage of the budget or a specified amount.
or when the spend is forecasted to exceed the percent of the budget amount by the end of the budget period.
In addition to receiving an email, you can use Cloud Pub/Sub notifications to programmatically receive spend updates about this budget.
You could even create a Cloud function that listens to the PubSub topic to automate cost management.

Question 19

how can you analyize your budget

Answer 19

labeling all your resources and exporting your billing data to BigQuery to analyze your spend
Data Studio turns your data into informative dashboards and reports that are easy to read, easy to share, and fully customizable.
