google compute engine financial exposure limit

Question

On google compute engine, how can I limit the network egress or total bill for each month. I am concerned about possible security issues and want to limit my financial exposure.

Answer 1

There's no way to limit your usage in Compute Engine, unlike App Engine. However, you can use the Detailed Usage Export feature to generate reports that may be of help. You can create a script that will allow you to review this information.
