Your enterprise uses automated CI/CD pipelines to dynamically provision ephemeral test environments for pull requests. Multiple engineering teams deploy dozens of short-lived Google Cloud projects daily. You must implement a governance, lifecycle, and cost control strategy that satisfies the following requirements:
What should you do?
This solution implements a complete automated lifecycle and governance framework for dynamic, short-lived environments.
