I get the Spark plan for Google startups. And here https://cloud.google.com/developers/startups it says that I have G Suite Credits, for up to 10 users.
How/Where can I redeem this feature?
It means you have a G-Suite Basic plan you should use the SIGN UP wizard from the link I added, this will give you a free 14-day trial from there you can create a Support Case with G-Suite to make the corresponding changes to your subscription plan.
Or else open a Case with GCP (from GCP Portal "Support > Cases) and let them route it to the proper team since you already have the startup credits you are entitled to receive Support.

I am trying out Google Cloud Compute, which is a totally different from Microsoft Azure, and I'm having difficulty getting the hang of it.
For instance, where do you find the Google Cloud Compute equivalent of Microsoft Azure's cost breakdown?
Please see this screenshot, and you'll know what I'm talking about: Microsoft Azure's Price Breakdown
To see your payments breakdown, go to https://console.cloud.google.com/billing/, then choose your billing account. Go to "Payment overview" to see your invoices, download PDFs, etc.
If you want to see services that are not yet billed, go to https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/billing/unbilledinvoice and choose a project in question.
We are running our Software Application partially on google cloud platform and will be running a security review, which includes a penetration test soon.
We are tasked with informing our Hosting providers on this.
How should I do this for Google?
Regards
In general, you are not obliged to inform Google about your pen tests:
If you plan to evaluate the security of your Cloud Platform
infrastructure with penetration testing, you are not required to
contact us. You will have to abide by the Cloud Platform Acceptable
Use Policy and Terms of Service, and ensure that your tests only
affect your projects (and not other customers’ applications). If a
vulnerability is found, please report it via the Vulnerability Reward
Program.
... therefore there's no actual formal way of doing this. Probably a good idea would be to contact Google Cloud Platform Support and re-check that, also to have a record of this action, as you say you were tasked to inform the cloud provider.
We are authenticating to GCP via GSuite, and we have set the session timeout to 1 hour (the lowest).
I have signed out of GSuite to ensure the correct period is set, and I can now see that my Google Identity times out for services other than GCP. However, when I go back to the GCP project, the session is still valid and does not seem to require re-authorisation.
What is the default session time out in GCP compared to the Google Identity time out, and more importantly, can this be set to a small period such as 1 hour?
I have found related question in Serverfault which has already been answered. Quoting the answer below
" At the moment there is a feature request to allow the session
timeout of your Google Cloud Console.
The Console asks for confirmation before deleting instances but
2-Step verification is only enforced when you sign in from a new
device (you can choose to have this device remembered for 30 days).
As a workaround you might be able to use 3rd party tools to force
the sign out".
I recently worked with a corporation and they gave me the user pass of main gmail account that apps are using and said use your credit card on it and we will change it in 1 month , i submitted my credit account and submitted my verification document , after one month they changed password of the main account with (2 step verification enabled !)
because some how they were the original creator of the account ! so the put me outside of it and they fired me ,they are still using my credit card after telling them that i report my card stolen the gave me Billing administrator role for the account no i see close in billing section how can i close that account billing that no one can re open it,
i just my credit card out and don't care that main account deletes or suspends !
I suggest you to open a case the Google Cloud Platform Billing Support:
Google Cloud Platform Billing Support
They should be able to assist you with anything related to billing accounts.
i used my uncle's credit card to signup with google cloud platform for free tier avaliance .It is not verifying cvc/ccv but it charged 50 ruppes for verification then i cancel it and it automatically redirects to project creation and a project also created.After some time it shows in upper part that your project violate our policy and giving a form documentation for verification. country-INDIA, cc-HDFC BANK
In the official documentation says this:
After signing up, you might notice a $0-1 transaction from Google, which is a pending authorization request between our billing system and the bank that issued your credit or debit card. Authorizations might be converted to local currency by your bank, and these transactions might appear as pending on your statement for up to a month. Please keep in mind they are authorization requests only, not actual charges.
That means it is not a real charge just a check.
If you have any other doubt about it, talk with your bank or contact to Google Cloud Billing Support
