How to change the active configuration profile in gcloud?


I have created a new configuration profile using command:

gcloud init 

and now I don't know how to switch to old configuration profile without override it.

Using gcloud config I can't switch to another configuration only set a property of the current configuration.

any idea?


Solution

  • You can see your configurations (created via gcloud init) via

    gcloud config configurations list
    

    You can switch to a different configuration via

    gcloud config configurations activate MY_OLD_CONFIG
    

    Once activated you can

    gcloud config list
    

    to see its settings.

    You can also do this without activation by running

    gcloud config list --configuration CONFIGURATION_NAME
