Basic GCP Environment

• Projects
  • useful to organize resources
  • the most basic resources:
    • compute
    • storage
    • network
• Permissions
  • Types of Roles
    • Basic (not secure in real environment)
      • Browser
      • Viewer
      • Editor
      • Owner
    • Predefined (more granular, useful if it fits your needs)
      • examples:
        • Compute Viewer (inventory all compute engines)
        • Compute Admin (full control over all compute engines)
        • Compute Security Admin (modify firewall rules)
    • Custom
      • the most specific
      • when you need a set of permissions not covered by a Predefine Role
• Enabling APIs
  • control which resources a project has access by enabling or disabling APIs
• Billing Accounts
  • You can set up spending alerts for a project by setting a budget

Knowledge Check: Setting up a Google Cloud Platform Environment

In Google Cloud Platform, by default, administrators and users with billing account roles will receive email alerts when the amount spent exceeds _, _, and _ percent of the budget.

• ✅ 50, 90, 100

Which Google Cloud Platform predefined role only allows the user to view the current compute resources?

• ❌ Compute Browser
• ✅ Compute Viewer

I think there's no "Compute Viewer" predefined role. Looks like the term "Viewer" was used here to confuse the student with the "Viewer" basic role.
