Suspend a project in Google Cloud

google-cloud-platform

In our organisation, there are numerous projects that were created long ago but now neglected and forgotten by their owners. I would like to disable such projects so that all the resources in them are stopped. And cleanup these projects after a few months if nobody complains. Is there a way for me to suspend a project without deleting it?

Best Answer

The only thing that you can do is shutdown the project according to the official documentation link, I don't know if this solution fits your needs

Shutting down a project in the console releases all resources used within the project. Only project owners can shut down or restore projects.

To shut down a project:

Go to the Cloud Platform Console.

  1. Open the console left side menu and select IAM & Admin, then select Settings.

  2. Find the name or project ID of the project you want to shut down, then click SHUT DOWN. A confirmation screen describing what will happen appears.

  3. To confirm, enter your project ID and click Shut down.

Shutting down a project stops all billing and traffic serving, shuts down any Google Cloud Platform App Engine applications, and terminates all Compute Engine instances. All project data associated with Google Cloud and Google APIs services becomes inaccessible.

After a 30-day waiting period, the project and associated data are permanently deleted from the console.
