Your finance team wants to perform granular analysis of your Google Cloud spending using SQL. They need to see daily cost breakdowns by project, service, and custom labels. You decide to set up Cloud Billing export to BigQuery.

Which TWO statements are true regarding this configuration? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

The billing export will automatically backfill historical billing data from the past 12 months into the BigQuery dataset.

You must create a BigQuery dataset in the project before you can configure the billing export.

Billing data exported to BigQuery is updated in real-time as resources are consumed.

You need the Billing Account Administrator role to enable the export of billing data to BigQuery.

The BigQuery dataset used for billing export must be located in the us-central1 region.

How to approach this question

Understand the prerequisites for billing export (dataset creation, IAM roles) and its limitations (no historical backfill, not real-time).

Full Answer

To set up Cloud Billing export to BigQuery, you must first create a BigQuery dataset to hold the data. Additionally, you must have the Billing Account Administrator role on the billing account to configure the export. It is important to note that the export only captures data from the moment it is configured; it does not backfill historical data, and the data is not real-time.

Common mistakes

Assuming billing export backfills historical data or provides real-time cost tracking.
