I thought you had to edit a config file manually, but A sounds right!

Just use `gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-d`.

I think D is more about instance metadata, not really about setting a default zone for the CLI. I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I vaguely recall something about creating a file for defaults, but I can't remember if it was C or D. It seems a bit off to me though.

I'm not entirely sure, but B sounds familiar too. I feel like I saw something about setting defaults in the Compute Engine settings.

I think the right answer is A, setting the default zone with the gcloud config subcommand. I remember practicing that in a lab.

This is a good question that tests our understanding of business technology trends. The description of the shift towards hosted, subscription-based software aligns with the Software as a Service model, so I'll confidently select option D.
