Not sure if this is right or wrong to post here about this,
But I am past 90 days beyond free $300 cloud credits (which I wasted fully, just because I was not sure, what I was signing up for, sometime ago).
But recently, I joined Mentor Me Collective’s Google Cloud Career Launchpad program.
For capstone project, I am running two GKE cluster (zonal node: 2), but it mentions ~$74 as monthly cost. Since I am a student, I am infact looking for additional cloud credits to finish it and showcase to our Google Cloud Career Launchpad program’s mentor. They didn’t support us with cloud credits, just the skill boost labs, which is good for generic hands on, but not for creative DIY builds.
I do not have a valid credit card attached in my billing, it’s a dummy credential, with no balance. I am afraid, if the bill is even beyond $1, they may close my account. Which I absolutely do not want to. Given that I have no payment options with me, and forex cost is NPR 142 per dollar. Even a NPR 500 in bill is a debt to me. Is there any way I can get support here?
For the additional credit I can secure, I plan to document a few more capstone projects in my resume. Can you please help me with this?
