    Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLIgcloudCompute EngineConfiguration

    GCP ACE · Question 09 · Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLI

    You frequently create Compute Engine instances in the 'europe-west1-b' zone. You are tired of typing the '--zone=europe-west1-b' flag every time you run the 'gcloud compute instances create' command.

    Which command will set this zone as your default so you no longer have to specify it?

    Answer options:

    A.

    gcloud compute set zone europe-west1-b

    B.

    gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-b

    C.

    gcloud config set zone europe-west1-b

    D.

    gcloud compute zones set default europe-west1-b

    How to approach this question

    Remember the structure of gcloud config properties: section/property.

    Full Answer

    B.gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-b✓ Correct
    To set default properties in the Cloud SDK, you use `gcloud config set [SECTION]/[PROPERTY] [VALUE]`. For the default compute zone, the section is 'compute' and the property is 'zone'.

    Common mistakes

    Forgetting the 'compute/' prefix in the property name.
