Answer is D. See Google Docs: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/proxy-settings Alternatively, to avoid having the proxy credentials recorded in any logs (such as shell history or gcloud CLI logs) or in the gcloud CLI configuration file, you can set the properties using environment variables. export CLOUDSDK_PROXY_USERNAME [USERNAME] export CLOUDSDK_PROXY_PASSWORD [PASSWORD]

Selected Answer: D
- Using Environment Variables: By setting the proxy credentials as environment variables (CLOUDSDK_PROXY_USERNAME and CLOUDSDK_PROXY_PASSWORD), you avoid having to enter them directly into the CLI tool where they might be logged. Environment variables are a common way to securely pass sensitive information like credentials. - No Logging of Credentials: The gcloud CLI typically does not log environment variables, so your credentials should be safe from being recorded in the CLI logs. - Ease of Use: Setting environment variables is straightforward and does not require modifying configuration files or encoding credentials.

A. Using gcloud config set for Username and Password: This approach directly enters the credentials into the gcloud CLI configuration, which could potentially be logged or exposed in the configuration file. B. Encoding Credentials and Custom CA Certs File: This option suggests a method that isn't directly related to setting proxy credentials. The core/custom_ca_certs_file is used for specifying a custom CA (Certificate Authority) certificate file, not for proxy credentials. C. Using the Configuration File: Modifying the configuration file to include proxy credentials might expose them in plain text within the file, which could be a security risk. It's generally safer to use environment variables for this purpose.

Per ChatGPT, Option C is the most appropriate choice for securely providing proxy credentials to the gcloud CLI tool without risking exposure in logs or other outputs.

I think this test may have rocked you due to ChatGPT. Storing credentials in the config file increases the risk of exposure if the file is compromised. It's the same problem as A. The answer is D.
