Activating a profile

Written by

Updated at October 30, 2024

Multiple profiles let you quickly switch your command execution context.

Use the profile name to access the profile. You can find the profile name by getting the profile list.

  1. Activate the test profile:

    yc config profile activate test
    Profile 'test' activated
    
  2. Make sure that the profile is activated. It will have the ACTIVE label next to it:

    yc config profile list
    prod
    test ACTIVE
