    GCP ACE · Question 08 · Domain 1.3: Installing and configuring the CLI

    You frequently switch between two different GCP environments: a personal project using your personal Gmail account, and a corporate project using your company email. You want to switch between these environments quickly without having to re-authenticate or manually change the project ID each time.

    Which TWO gcloud commands are essential to set up and use this workflow? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    gcloud config configurations create

    B.

    gcloud auth switch-account

    C.

    gcloud config configurations activate

    D.

    gcloud components update

    E.

    gcloud init --switch

    How to approach this question

    Identify how gcloud handles multiple distinct environments (configurations).

    Full Answer

    gcloud supports multiple named configurations. A configuration is a set of properties (like active account, project, region). You use `gcloud config configurations create [NAME]` to make a new one, and `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]` to switch between them seamlessly.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking you must run `gcloud auth login` every time you switch accounts.
