Actual exam question from Google's Associate Cloud Engineer

Question #: 203
Topic #: 1

[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

Your company completed the acquisition of a startup and is now merging the IT systems of both companies. The startup had a production Google Cloud project in their organization. You need to move this project into your organization and ensure that the project is billed to your organization. You want to accomplish this task with minimal effort. What should you do?

A. Use the projects.move method to move the project to your organization. Update the billing account of the project to that of your organization.
B. Ensure that you have an Organization Administrator Identity and Access Management (IAM) role assigned to you in both organizations. Navigate to the Resource Manager in the startup’s Google Cloud organization, and drag the project to your company's organization.
C. Create a Private Catalog for the Google Cloud Marketplace, and upload the resources of the startup's production project to the Catalog. Share the Catalog with your organization, and deploy the resources in your company’s project.
D. Create an infrastructure-as-code template for all resources in the project by using Terraform, and deploy that template to a new project in your organization. Delete the project from the startup’s Google Cloud organization.

Option A is correct as it suggests using the "projects.move" method provided by Google Cloud to move the project from the startup's organization to your organization. This method allows you to transfer the ownership and control of a project to another organization. By moving the project, you can ensure that it is under your organization's management. While the other options contain elements that may be relevant in certain scenarios, they do not directly address the requirement of moving the project and ensuring billing to your organization.

I vote for D. Why is that? Option A says project.move method - This is complicated, it requires you to have specific IAM permissions set up correctly in both organizations (like Project Mover role), and you must also ensure that any dependencies or policies are managed properly. The new command is much easier gcloud beta projects move PROJECT_ID --organization=ORGANIZATION_ID or --folder=FOLDER_ID but option A doesn't say to use gcloud beta project move So for me, the answer is D - IaC/Terraform can accomplish this task with minimal effort (compared to the "projects.move" method)

Here, A is the only choice because neither B nor C nor D be the answer. You can move a project within an organization. But you need to migrate a project across organizations. https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/project-migration https://medium.com/google-cloud/migrating-a-project-from-one-organization-to-another-gcp-4b37a86dd9e6
