Which TWO gcloud commands are essential for setting up and switching between these environments? (Select TWO)
Answer options:
A.
gcloud config configurations create
B.
gcloud init --switch
C.
gcloud config configurations activate
D.
gcloud projects switch
E.
gcloud auth application-default login
How to approach this question
Recall how gcloud manages multiple environments using 'configurations'.
Full Answer
gcloud config configurations create, gcloud config configurations activate
The gcloud CLI uses 'configurations' to manage multiple sets of properties. You use `gcloud config configurations create [NAME]` to make a new one, set its properties (like project), and then use `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]` to switch between them seamlessly.
Common mistakes
Trying to use non-existent commands like `gcloud projects switch`.
