Monitoring and controlling costs effectively is important, especially as you scale your business in the cloud. As the number of teams, applications, and environments running in your cloud deployment expands, it becomes crucial that you provide granular transparency, accountability, and controls to various parts of your organization that incur cloud costs.

When you’re using Google Cloud, our budgets and alerts features are a powerful part of your cost monitoring toolkit, letting you set your target spending and notify key stakeholders if you’re getting off track. We’re dedicated to making it even easier for you to monitor and control your costs at scale so that you can achieve greater predictability, and we’ve recently released several enhancements that help you do just that.

With the beta release of the Budget API, you can view, create, and manage budgets programmatically at scale. This is especially important if you’re creating a large number of budgets across your organization. For example, you can integrate the Budget API into your deployment manager, like Terraform, to programmatically create a budget for each new project as it’s created in your organization.
