Correct Answer is (A): Change your default zone and region in the metadata server Note: This only applies to the default configuration. You can change the default zone and region in your metadata server by making a request to the metadata server. For example: gcloud compute project-info add-metadata \ --metadata google-compute-default-region=europe-west1,google-compute-default-zone=europe-west1-b The gcloud command-line tool only picks up on new default zone and region changes after you rerun the gcloud init command. After updating your default metadata, run gcloud init to reinitialize your default configuration. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gcloud-compute#change_your_default_zone_and_region_in_the_metadata_server

Using gcloud config you can set the zone in your active configuration only. This setting does not apply to other gcloud configurations and does not become the default for the project. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/config/set So I believe correct answer is B as per https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/changing-default-zone-region#console In the Cloud Console, go to the Settings page. From the Zone drop-down menu, select a default zone.

bro, it mentioned going into the console settings, not the compute engine settings! To change your default region or zone: In the Cloud Console, go to the Settings page. Go to the Settings page From the Region drop-down menu, select a default region. From the Zone drop-down menu, select a default zone.

Answer A. There is no file like default.config. In my labs i set default values Zone/Region/project etc default values stored in the following location cat ~/.config/gcloud/configurations/config_default. We can also set zone default using " gcloud config set compute/zone <zona_name>"
