This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?
Description
What you would like to accomplish:
Include GCP resource UUID (Instance Id) as a column in the Billing Export so we can know specifically what GCP resource is responsible for the Cost/Usage line item.
How this might work:
Possibly include a new Instance.id column in the BigQuery Billing Export response or include it as part of the system_labels
If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient: I have tried creating individual labels but a more automatic mechanism would be our preference since it will ensure the best customer experience.
Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc): AWS and Azure provide this type of capability as part of their billing exports. For reference here is the AWS documentation explaining the "Include Resource Ids" functionality.
