Do-able today with GCP Billing



I thought GCP is alerts not capping?


The 'official' method is programmatically DIY!

haha

>Warning: This example removes billing from your project, shutting down all resources.

this is the digital equivalent of literally pulling the plug. i wonder how long it takes for GCP to register that you've pulled billing though? in some cases i'm sure even milliseconds could make a large difference.


This is ridiculous. I'm guessing a huge revenue source is going after businesses for long-tail billing spikes.

Not only do I have to worry about bad code causing a huge bill, I also have to worry about the quality of code (or config) that emergency stops the billing.

I wonder if you can sign up with a pre-paid credit card and use a fake name.


Damn that's ugly.

I'm luckily still on Azure's MSDN tier...which is hardcapped to 150 bucks.


I wonder how friendly the UI is to accomplish that
