You are working in Cloud Shell and need to execute several commands against a project named 'analytics-prod-992'. Your current default project is set to 'web-dev-123'.

Which command should you use to change the default project for your current active configuration?

Answer options:

gcloud config set project analytics-prod-992

gcloud projects update analytics-prod-992

gcloud switch project analytics-prod-992

export GCP_PROJECT=analytics-prod-992

How to approach this question

Remember that local CLI settings (like default project, zone, region) are managed using the 'gcloud config set' command.

Full Answer

A.gcloud config set project analytics-prod-992✓ Correct

To change the default project in your active Cloud SDK configuration, you use `gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]`. This ensures that subsequent gcloud commands will target 'analytics-prod-992' without needing to append the `--project` flag to every command.

Common mistakes

Confusing project management commands (`gcloud projects`) with CLI configuration commands (`gcloud config`).
