Associate Cloud Engineer Certification - CLI commands in scope of exam questions?

[bbuddha]

I am preparing for ACE certification and would like to know if they ask questions based on CLI commands. While most CLI commands follow a consistent format, and it's easy to remember the format itself. However, knowing all options is a lot to remember and recall. I am looking for guidance before I invest a lot of time learning and memorizing the commands.  

Along the same lines, do we also need to learn and remember all predefined roles and permissions?

Yes, there are some questions about the CLI, but you do not have to memorize all the syntax. You are just expected to recognize the correct command to accomplish a task from several ones being proposed. And definitely, they are not tricky. No detailed knowledge of one-letter parameters is required.

I would say learning cli is the next step after learning the gui.

It will help reinforce your learning of the topics, and you will pass ace this way.

Yes, there are some questions about the CLI, you just have to remember the groups and subgroups so that it's easier to identify the correct command.

The general format is 
gcloud + release level (optional) + component + entity + operation + positional args + flags

Knowing important components, entities, and operations should be good enough I suppose?

And memorizing some more concrete commands like, for instance, creating a network and a subnet.

Also have some familiarity with tools like kubectl, gsutil, bq, cbt.
