Your coworker has helped you set up several configurations for gcloud. You've noticed that you're running commands against the wrong project. Being new to the company, you haven't yet memorized any of the projects. With the fewest steps possible, what's the fastest way to switch to the correct configuration?

Run gcloud configurations list followed by gcloud configurations activate .
Run gcloud config list followed by gcloud config activate.
Run gcloud config configurations list followed by gcloud config configurations activate.
Re-authenticate with the gcloud auth login command and select the correct configurations on login.

The correct answer is: Run gcloud config configurations list followed by gcloud config configurations activate.

The most efficient way to switch to the correct configuration involves using the command to list all available configurations and then activating the desired one. The correct answer involves running "gcloud config configurations list" to see a list of configured contexts, which makes it easy to identify the correct configuration to switch to. After identifying the correct configuration, you execute "gcloud config configurations activate <CONFIG_NAME>" to switch to that configuration. This approach minimizes the steps needed to effectively manage your cloud configurations without needing to re-authenticate or explore options that might not directly lead to switching projects. Additionally, using the full command is direct and provides clarity in ensuring you're selecting the right configuration. In contrast, other choices either use incorrect commands or involve unnecessary steps, such as re-authenticating, which does not directly address the need to simply switch configurations.
