Actual exam question for Google's Associate-Cloud-Engineer exam
Question #: 199
Topic #: 4
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?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

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 createRef: 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
