How to approach this question
Identify the gcloud feature that allows saving multiple sets of configurations (profiles).
Full Answer
The Cloud SDK allows you to create multiple named configurations (profiles) using `gcloud config configurations create`. Each configuration can have its own default project, account, and compute zone. You can easily switch between them using `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]`.
Common mistakes
Thinking you have to use `gcloud init` every time you switch environments.
