I feel like I should verify the IAM role first, but I can't recall if shutting down the project or deleting resources is more effective for cost reduction.

I practiced a similar question where we had to delete resources instead of shutting down the project. I wonder if that's the right approach here too.

I think option A sounds familiar because it mentions shutting down the project directly, which seems like the simplest way to stop costs quickly.

I remember we discussed the importance of having the right IAM role, but I'm not sure if it's Project Owner or Organizational Administrator for shutting down a project.

I think the median is better than the mean when the data has outliers, since the median is less affected by extreme values.
