Answer: SSO SAML as a third-party IdP, Cloud Identity
The question specifically requires authentication via a third-party SAML SSO identity provider for gcloud. Option A (SSO SAML as a third-party IdP) is necessary because it directly specifies the SAML protocol, which is required for the described authentication method. Option E (Cloud Identity) is required because Cloud Identity serves as the bridge that integrates with third-party SAML IdPs, enabling SSO authentication for Google Cloud services including gcloud. The community discussion shows strong consensus for AE (55% support), with the highest upvoted comments (23 upvotes) confirming this combination. While some comments suggest AC (42% support), OpenID Connect (C) is not necessary for SAML-based authentication - SAML and OIDC are different protocols, and the question specifically mentions SAML. Identity Platform (B) and Identity-Aware Proxy (D) are not required for third-party SAML IdP integration with gcloud.
