Can I make use of Free Credits and once its over continue with production billing without disrupting anything?

I'm planning to run 2 n1-standard-2 instances on GKE and without disruption I want to continue with normal billing. Is this possible? What are the steps for continuing once the free credits are over?

Regarding your question:

Can I make use of Free Credits and once its over continue with production billing without disrupting anything?

You must upgrade to a paid Cloud Billing account to use Google Cloud after the Free Trial ends

If you upgrade before the trial is over, your remaining credit is added to your paid Cloud Billing account and you can continue to use the resources you created during the Free Trial without interruption.

These are the steps you should follow to upgrade your Cloud Billing account:

  1. Sign in to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Look for the Free trial status banner at the top of the page and click on Activate

If the Activate button is not visible, on the menu bar, click Free trial status Free trial status icon and the Activate button appears.

And then, confirm the upgrade status of your Cloud Billing account.

As per the GCP doc when you use all of your credit, or after 90 days, whichever happens first. You can upgrade to a paid Cloud Billing account.
