A is right https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/getting-started/set-up

If you click on Create instance, the message is show in bottom: Cloud Spanner API for your project has been enabled.

A<------- is the correct first step. why? Because 99% of cloud deployment is done programmatically using IaC, such as Terraform or Google's own IaC, and for that reason alone "Enable the Cloud Spanner API" is a must!!

B looks more like it. When creating a Cloud Spanner instance, you configure the instance details first before enabling the Cloud Spanner API, if its not enabled by default i.e. if this is the first time you are using Cloud Spanner in your project.

Its definitely A. Link: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/quickstart-console

Answer A is correct before you do anything first you needto enable the API of that particulr service

A is right https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/quickstart-console?_ga=2.68426577.-1975890344.1661276010&_gac=1.161955406.1673625078.Cj0KCQiAn4SeBhCwARIsANeF9DJxfolckwcRZqaOS7Rem2pzXWGmlBaLlxK4hHSe3YZ4DtE5oHHKVMQaArPUEALw_wcB#:~:text=see%20Pricing.-,Before%20you%20begin,Enable%20the%20Cloud%20Spanner%20API,-Create%20an%20instance

Try the scenario yourself. Its A

A seems right

Answer must be B , here is why? I was confused between A and B but I tested this by creating a new project, when you go to spanner and click on create a spanner instance it automatically enables the API for you and you can all see this activity on the notification panel on the top right along with the visibility of this message clearly on that instance page as well, First it will auto-enable the API and then It will give you an option to select multi-region, Now the questions say your first step that has to be multi-region since enabling the API was done by google automatically and none other options makes sense here.

because Api auto enabled when you click create new instance on cloud spanner UI

Answer : A --> Tested

Enabling API is the first step

A - I tested...

A:-tested it need to Enable Api first
