Sure, I'll provide a detailed explanation of the options presented in the exam question.

A. Using the Cloud SDK, create a new project, enable the Compute Engine API in that project, and then create the instance specifying your new project.

This option involves creating a new project using the Cloud SDK, enabling the Compute Engine API in the project, and then creating the instance specifying the new project. To implement this option, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the Cloud SDK on your local machine if you haven't already done so.
  2. Use the Cloud SDK to create a new project using the command "gcloud projects create [PROJECT_ID]".
  3. Once the project is created, enable the Compute Engine API in the project using the command "gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com --project [PROJECT_ID]".
  4. Finally, create the Compute Engine instance using the command "gcloud compute instances create [INSTANCE_NAME] --project [PROJECT_ID]".

B. Enable the Compute Engine API in the Cloud Console, use the Cloud SDK to create the instance, and then use the --project flag to specify a new project.

This option involves enabling the Compute Engine API in the Cloud Console, using the Cloud SDK to create the instance, and then using the --project flag to specify a new project. To implement this option, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Cloud Console and enable the Compute Engine API in the project you want to use.
  2. Install the Cloud SDK on your local machine if you haven't already done so.
  3. Use the Cloud SDK to create the Compute Engine instance using the command "gcloud compute instances create [INSTANCE_NAME] --project [PROJECT_ID]".
  4. Specify the new project using the --project flag.

C. Using the Cloud SDK, create the new instance, and use the --project flag to specify the new project. Answer yes when prompted by Cloud SDK to enable the Compute Engine API.

This option involves using the Cloud SDK to create the instance, specifying the new project using the --project flag, and answering yes when prompted by the Cloud SDK to enable the Compute Engine API. To implement this option, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the Cloud SDK on your local machine if you haven't already done so.
  2. Use the Cloud SDK to create the Compute Engine instance using the command "gcloud compute instances create [INSTANCE_NAME] --project [PROJECT_ID]".
  3. Specify the new project using the --project flag.
  4. Answer yes when prompted by the Cloud SDK to enable the Compute Engine API.

D. Enable the Compute Engine API in the Cloud Console. Go to the Compute Engine section of the Console to create a new instance, and look for the Create In A New Project option in the creation form.

This option involves enabling the Compute Engine API in the Cloud Console, going to the Compute Engine section of the Console to create a new instance, and looking for the Create In A New Project option in the creation form. To implement this option, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Cloud Console and enable the Compute Engine API in the project you want to use.
  2. Go to the Compute Engine section of the Console and look for the Create In A New Project option in the creation form.
  3. Specify the new project and create the Compute Engine instance.

In summary, option A involves creating a new project using the Cloud SDK, enabling the Compute Engine API in the project, and then creating the instance specifying the new project. Option B involves enabling the Compute Engine API in the Cloud Console, using the Cloud SDK to create the instance, and then using the --project flag to specify a new project. Option C involves using the Cloud SDK to create the
