Creating Projects: Hands On

Projects

In this lesson, we will create our first project. The project is non-billable. This means you are not charged for creating it. However, there is a default limit on how many projects you can create in an organization. This limit can be increased at any time with a simple request.

The project has three attributes.

• Project name is an alphanumeric combination (Excluding ‘_’) of characters. This is purely for the user and is like a display name for the project.
• Project ID is the globally unique ID. Project name and ID can be the same if both are globally unique. If not, Google will auto-generate a globally unique ID for you.
• Project number is auto-generated by Google for internal purposes. This is out of our control.

Type	Uniqueness	Owner	Mutability
Project ID	Globally unique	Chosen by you	Immutable
Project name	Need not be unique	Chosen by you	Mutable
Project number	Globally unique	Assigned by GCP	Immutable
