Objective 2.4
ACEPlanning and implementing resources using tooling
Objective 2.4 sits in Planning and implementing a cloud solution, which carries 30% of the Associate Cloud Engineer exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A user installs the gcloud CLI and immediately runs gcloud config list. Which configuration is active at that moment?
Correct.
Concept
A tool that needs somewhere to put settings has to invent that place before you ask for one. The starting container is a convenience with no special standing.
Why B
The gcloud CLI starts with a single configuration named default. Nothing distinguishes it from any configuration you create later, and it can be renamed.
Now you: objective 2.4 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
