Answer options:
A.
gcloud config configurations create
B.
gcloud auth switch-account
C.
gcloud config configurations activate
D.
gcloud components update
E.
gcloud init --switch
How to approach this question
Identify how gcloud handles multiple distinct environments (configurations).
Full Answer
gcloud config configurations create, gcloud config configurations activate
gcloud supports multiple named configurations. A configuration is a set of properties (like active account, project, region). You use `gcloud config configurations create [NAME]` to make a new one, and `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]` to switch between them seamlessly.
Common mistakes
Thinking you must run `gcloud auth login` every time you switch accounts.
