You can use labels to answer complex questions, such as “How can I tell what Service X is costing me?“, or “What am I spending on my development environments versus production?” You apply labels, which are key/value pairs, to your Google Cloud resources. Common uses of labels include:

  • Labels based on team or cost center. You can use these labels to distinguish projects owned by different teams, which is useful in cost accounting or budgeting. For example, team:marketing and team:research.
  • Labels based on component. For example, component:redis and component:frontend.
  • Labels based on environment or stage. For example, environment:prod and environment:test.
