A DevOps engineer needs to establish a new application environment in Google Cloud following standard operational procedures. In which order should the engineer execute the administrative steps to correctly position the project in the resource hierarchy, enable billing, and grant access?
- 1Create a dedicated folder under the Organization node to represent the application environment.
- 2Create the Google Cloud project inside the designated environment folder.
- 3Link an active Billing Account to the newly created project.
- 4Enable the required Cloud Service APIs on the project.
- 5Grant predefined IAM roles to the development team on the project.
Answer
The correct sequence begins with creating the parent folder under the organization node, creating the project inside that folder, linking an active billing account to the project, enabling the necessary Cloud Service APIs, and finally granting predefined IAM roles to the development team.
Setting up a cloud solution environment follows a strict dependency workflow: the organizational folder must exist first to establish policy boundaries, followed by project creation inside that folder. Billing must then be linked so that required Cloud Service APIs can be enabled. Finally, IAM roles are assigned to grant user access to the enabled services.
