    GCP ACE · Question 08 · Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLI

    You frequently switch between managing a 'Development' environment and a 'Production' environment. Each environment uses a different GCP project, a different default compute zone, and a different authorized service account.

    Which TWO gcloud commands should you use to efficiently manage and switch between these distinct environments without re-authenticating or resetting individual properties each time? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    gcloud config configurations create

    B.

    gcloud auth login --update-profile

    C.

    gcloud config configurations activate

    D.

    gcloud projects switch

    E.

    gcloud environments toggle

    How to approach this question

    Identify the gcloud feature that allows saving multiple sets of configurations (profiles).

    Full Answer

    gcloud config configurations create, gcloud config configurations activate
    The Cloud SDK allows you to create multiple named configurations (profiles) using `gcloud config configurations create`. Each configuration can have its own default project, account, and compute zone. You can easily switch between them using `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]`.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking you have to use `gcloud init` every time you switch environments.
