Zenta Pulse Best Practices: The 15-Minute Setup That Earns Its Keep

Most GCP exposure incidents and misconfigurations don't end in a breach — they end in a bill, because nothing was watching spend in real time when the key started getting hit. This quick guide walks through the six settings that turn Zenta Pulse from "connected" into an active layer on your Google Cloud: budgets, threshold alerts, and — critically — Kill Switch, Pulse's automatic billing disconnect that caps damage at the project or service level before a compromised key or runaway service turns into a five-figure surprise. Follow the steps in order; the whole setup takes about 15 minutes.
