A cloud engineer needs to onboard a new business unit into an existing Google Cloud organization. The engineer must set up a dedicated environment that inherits organization policies, enable necessary infrastructure services, ensure resource usage is billed appropriately, and grant access to the development team while enforcing the principle of least privilege. In what sequential order should the engineer execute these setup operations?
- 1Create a dedicated environment Folder under the Organization node using `gcloud resource-manager folders create`.
- 2Provision a new Google Cloud Project directly inside the environment Folder using `gcloud projects create`.
- 3Link the active enterprise Billing Account to the newly created Project using `gcloud billing projects link`.
- 4Enable required Google Cloud Service APIs (such as Compute Engine API) on the Project using `gcloud services enable`.
- 5Bind specific predefined IAM roles to the business unit's developer group at the Project level using `gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding`.
Answer
The correct sequence places container structure creation first, followed by project instantiation, billing linkage, API enablement, and finally access control assignment.
The correct sequence follows the dependency path of Google Cloud resource administration: establishing the parent folder container under the organization, creating the project within that folder to inherit organizational policies, linking the billing account to satisfy service prerequisites, enabling the required APIs for the project, and finally applying IAM policy bindings for team access.
