You have created a new Google Cloud project. You need to allow a specific group of developers to provision Compute Engine virtual machines. The Compute Engine API has not been enabled yet.

Which TWO actions must you take to fulfill this requirement? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Run gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com

Assign the Compute Admin role to the developer group

Run gcloud compute api enable

Assign the Project Editor role to the developer group

Assign the Compute Viewer role to the developer group

How to approach this question

Identify the two distinct prerequisites: 1) The API must be enabled. 2) The users need appropriate permissions (least privilege).

Full Answer

Enable the Compute Engine API, Assign the Compute Admin role to the developer group

Before using any Google Cloud service, its API must be enabled. The correct command is `gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com`. Secondly, to allow developers to create VMs without granting excessive permissions, you should assign them the Compute Admin role (roles/compute.admin).

Common mistakes

Selecting Project Editor instead of Compute Admin, or choosing the wrong gcloud command syntax for enabling APIs.
