GCP Structure: Projects & Resources
Page 1 of 1
The Resource Hierarchy: Projects
In GCP, everything starts with a Project.
- Organization: The root node (your company).
- Folders: Optional grouping (e.g., "HR Department", "DevOps Team").
- Projects: The core container. Billing is enabled at the project level. APIs (like the Maps API or Compute Engine API) are enabled at the project level. Permissions are often granted at the project level.
- Resources: The actual VMs, Buckets, and Databases live inside a project.
Key Difference: Unlike Azure's Resource Groups which are purely logical containers, a GCP Project is a permission and billing boundary with a unique ID (e.g., my-app-prod-12345).
