GCP ACE · Question 08 · Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLI
You are writing a bash script that will run on a CI/CD server. The script needs to deploy an application to App Engine. You want to ensure the script explicitly sets the target project to 'my-app-prod' for the deployment command, regardless of what the default gcloud configuration is set to on the server.
Which command should you use?

How to approach this question
Identify the safest way to specify a project in an automated script without altering global state.
Full Answer
B.gcloud app deploy --project=my-app-prod✓ Correct
In automation and CI/CD environments, it is best practice to use the `--project` flag on individual gcloud commands. This ensures the command targets the correct project without altering the underlying configuration state (`gcloud config set`), which might cause race conditions if multiple scripts run simultaneously.
Common mistakes
Using `gcloud config set project` in scripts, which can cause conflicts in shared environments.
