Complete the code to list all Compute Engine instances in the current project.

GCP

gcloud compute instances [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Alist

Bcreate

Cdelete

Ddescribe

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'create' instead of 'list' will try to make a new instance.

Using 'delete' will remove instances, which is not what we want.

Using 'describe' shows details of one instance, not all.

The list command shows all Compute Engine instances in your project.

Complete the code to set the default project for gcloud commands.

GCP

gcloud config [1] project my-project-id

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aunset

Bset

Cget

Dlist

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'unset' removes a config value.

Using 'get' only reads the current value.

Using 'list' shows all config values.

The set command updates the configuration, here setting the default project.

Fix the error in the command to create a new Compute Engine instance named 'web-server'.

GCP

gcloud compute instances create [1] --zone=us-central1-a

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aweb-server

Bwebserver

Cweb_server

Dweb server

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using spaces in the name causes errors.

Underscores are not valid for instance names.

Concatenated words without separator are allowed but less readable.

The instance name must use hyphens for separation, so 'web-server' is correct.

Fill both blanks to create a firewall rule named 'allow-http' that allows TCP traffic on port 80.

GCP

gcloud compute firewall-rules create [1] --allow [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aallow-http

Btcp:80

Cudp:80

Dallow-ssh

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using UDP instead of TCP for HTTP traffic.

Using a rule name that doesn't match the allowed traffic.

Forgetting to specify the port.

The firewall rule name is 'allow-http' and it allows TCP traffic on port 80, so '--allow tcp:80' is correct.

Fill all three blanks to list all storage buckets in the project 'my-project' with JSON output format.

GCP

gcloud [1] [2] list --project=[3] --format=json

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Astorage

Bbuckets

Cmy-project

Dinstances

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'instances' instead of 'buckets' for storage.

Omitting the project flag or using wrong project name.

Not specifying the output format correctly.

To list storage buckets, use 'gcloud storage buckets list' with the project flag and JSON output format.
