Google Cloud Resource Hierarchy and Management

Question

Your organization is defining the resource hierarchy for its new application in Google Cloud. You need separate development and production environments. The production environment will be deployed in Compute Engine in two regions. Which structure should your organization choose?

Options

  • ACreate a single project for all environments. Use labels to segregate resources by environment.
  • BCreate a single project for all environments. Use tags to segregate resources by environment.
  • CCreate one project for the development environment and one project for the production
  • DCreate two projects for the development environment and two projects for the production

Explanation

Creating one project for development and one project for production is the recommended approach because projects serve as the primary security and billing boundary in Google Cloud. This ensures production resources are fully isolated from development activity, reducing the risk of accidental changes. The production environment being deployed in two Compute Engine regions does not require two separate projects - multi-region deployments are managed within a single project using regional resource configurations. Options A and B (labels/tags within a single project) do not provide true resource isolation. Option D adds unnecessary complexity with two projects for development.
