What should you do?

You have one GCP account running in your default region and zone and another account running in a non-default region and zone. You want to start a new Compute Engine instance in these two Google Cloud Platform accounts using the command line interface.

What should you do?
A . Create two configurations using gcloud config configurations create [NAME]. Run gcloud config configurations activate [NAME] to switch between accounts when running the commands to start the Compute Engine instances.
B . Create two configurations using gcloud config configurations create [NAME]. Run gcloud configurations list to start the Compute Engine instances.
C . Activate two configurations using gcloud configurations activate [NAME]. Run gcloud config list to start the Compute Engine instances.
D . Activate two configurations using gcloud configurations activate [NAME]. Run gcloud configurations list to start the Compute Engine instances.

Answer: A

Explanation:

"Run gcloud configurations list to start the Compute Engine instances".

How the heck are you expecting to "start" GCE instances doing "configuration list".

Each gcloud configuration has a 1 to 1 relationship with the region (if a region is defined). Since we have two different regions, we would need to create two separate configurations using gcloud config configurations create

Ref: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/config/configurations/create

Secondly, you can activate each configuration independently by running gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]

Ref: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/config/configurations/activate

Finally, while each configuration is active, you can run the gcloud compute instances start [NAME] command to start the instance in the configurations region. https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/instances/start
