Question

A developer accidentally shut down a Google Cloud project named 'analytics-sandbox' that contained several test VMs and a Cloud Storage bucket. Two days later, the team lead realizes some scripts still need data from that project. As the Associate Cloud Engineer, what should you tell them about recovering the project?

Accepted Answer

The project can be restored using 'gcloud projects undelete' because it is within the 30-day recovery window before permanent deletion.

Answer

The project and its resources are permanently gone; you must create a new project and rebuild everything from backups.

Answer

You must open a support case with Google Cloud, as only Google Support can reverse a project shutdown.

Answer

The project cannot be restored, but you can recover individual resources by re-linking the project to a billing account within 7 days.
