Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To link existing projects to a new billing account, you must update each project's billing settings individually. To ensure future projects use the new billing account automatically, set it as the default for the organization. This approach ensures all projects are correctly linked without unnecessary steps like migrating organizations or disabling billing.
- A. Correct.
A. This option is correct because each existing project needs to change its billing configuration to use the new billing account.
- B. Correct.
B. This option is correct because setting a default billing account for the organization ensures that new projects automatically use it.
- C. Incorrect.
C. This option is incorrect because migrating projects to a new organization is unnecessary and does not directly link projects to the billing account.
- D. Incorrect.
D. This option is incorrect because disabling billing and re-enabling it is not required to change the billing account.
- E. Incorrect.
E. This option is incorrect because creating a budget alert does not link projects to a billing account; it only helps in monitoring expenses.
