Question

A developer on your team created a new project named 'app-staging-427' using the Cloud Console while you were on vacation. When they try to create Compute Engine instances, the operation fails and the project shows a warning that billing is not enabled. As the Billing Account Administrator, you need to enable resource usage for this project with the least effort. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Link the existing 'app-staging-427' project to your organization's billing account from the Billing section of the Cloud Console.

Answer

Recreate the project and select the billing account during project creation, since billing cannot be added afterward.

Answer

Grant the developer the Project Billing Manager role so the project automatically inherits a billing account.

Answer

Create a new billing account and set it as the organization's default so all projects, including this one, become billable.
