To create a Google Cloud budget, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the Google Cloud console and sign in to your account.
- Click the Menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner of the page.
- Select Billing.
- In the Budgets & alerts section, click Create budget.
- In the Create budget dialog box, enter the following information:
- Budget name: A name for your budget.
- Budget amount: The amount of money that you want to spend in a billing period.
- Budget threshold: The percentage of the budget amount that you want to be notified about. For example, if you set the budget threshold to 50%, you will be notified when you have spent 50% of the budget amount.
- Budget frequency: The frequency of the budget alerts. You can choose to receive alerts daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Budget notifications: The email addresses that you want to receive budget alerts.
- Click Create.
Your budget will be created and you will start receiving budget alerts when the thresholds are met.
