You have just installed the Google Cloud SDK on your local workstation. You need to authenticate your user account, set up a default project, and configure a default compute zone.

Which single command should you run to accomplish all of these tasks interactively?

Answer options:

gcloud auth login

gcloud config set

gcloud init

gcloud setup

How to approach this question

Identify the command designed for first-time setup that handles authentication, project selection, and region/zone configuration in one interactive flow.

Full Answer

C.gcloud init✓ Correct

gcloud init

`gcloud init` is the standard command to initialize the Cloud SDK. It performs several setup tasks interactively: it authorizes the SDK to access GCP using your user account, sets up a default configuration, sets the default project, and optionally sets the default Compute Engine zone and region.

Common mistakes

Choosing `gcloud auth login`, which only handles the authentication part of the requirement.
