Explanation
Google Cloud supports Committed Use Discount (CUD) sharing at the billing account level. When you enable commitment sharing (also called 'discount sharing'), the committed use discounts are automatically applied across all projects linked to the same billing account. This is the simplest and most operationally efficient approach - no need to manually review usage per project daily, set up per-project commitments individually, or coordinate estimates via spreadsheets. The other options are manual, error-prone, and do not scale.
