Difficulty: MediumEnabling and Managing Cloud Service APIs

A data engineering team is attempting to deploy an automated batch processing pipeline inside a target Google Cloud project named `warehouse-analytics-live`. The execution fails because the Cloud Dataflow API (`dataflow.googleapis.com`) has not been activated in the project. As a Cloud Engineer, you must enable this service specifically for `warehouse-analytics-live` using the Google Cloud CLI. Which command should you execute?

  1. gcloud services enable dataflow.googleapis.com --project=warehouse-analytics-liveAnswer
  2. B
    gcloud services enable dataflow.googleapis.com
  3. C
    gcloud resource-manager folders add-iam-policy-binding --id=12345678 --role=roles/owner
  4. D
    gcloud compute quotas update --service=dataflow.googleapis.com --project=warehouse-analytics-live

Answer

Execute `gcloud services enable dataflow.googleapis.com --project=warehouse-analytics-live` to activate the Dataflow API explicitly in the target project.
The command `gcloud services enable dataflow.googleapis.com --project=warehouse-analytics-live` directly activates the specified Google Cloud API endpoint for the designated project. Including the `--project` flag ensures deterministic execution against the target environment.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the required Google Cloud API service endpoint name.
The canonical service name for Cloud Dataflow is `dataflow.googleapis.com`.
Google Cloud API enablement commands require the full service identifier.
2
Select the correct gcloud CLI component for managing APIs.
Use `gcloud services enable` command group.
The `gcloud services` command group is designed for enabling, disabling, and listing Service Usage APIs.
3
Append the `--project` flag to specify the target project.
Command becomes `gcloud services enable dataflow.googleapis.com --project=warehouse-analytics-live`.
Specifying `--project` guarantees the API is enabled in the intended project regardless of the active local gcloud configuration context.
