    GCP ACE · Question 07 · Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLI

    You are a developer working on two different GCP projects: 'project-dev' and 'project-prod'. You want to easily switch between these environments in your local Cloud SDK without having to re-authenticate or manually change the project ID every time.

    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

    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`.
