You have just installed the Google Cloud SDK on your local workstation. You need to authenticate with your Google account and set up your default project and compute region.

Which single gcloud command should you run to begin this interactive setup process?

Answer options:

gcloud auth login

gcloud config set project

gcloud setup

gcloud init

How to approach this question

Recall the primary initialization command used immediately after installing the Cloud SDK.

Full Answer

D.gcloud init✓ Correct

gcloud init

`gcloud init` is the standard command used to initialize the Cloud SDK. It prompts you to log in, select a default project, and optionally choose a default Compute Engine zone and region.

Common mistakes

Selecting `gcloud auth login`, which only handles the authentication part but misses the project and region configuration.
