def get_gcloud_config(field):
    """Helper method that invokes the gcloud config helper.

    Invoking gcloud commands is a very heavyweight process, so the config is
    cached for up to 20 minutes.

    The config is generated with a minimum credential expiry of 30 minutes, so
    that we can ensure that the caller can use the cached credentials for at
    least ~10 minutes even if the cache entry is about to expire.

    Args:
        field: A period-separated search path for the config value to return.
               For example, 'configuration.properties.core.project'
    Returns:
        A JSON object whose type depends on the search path for the field within
        the gcloud config.

        For example, if the field is `configuration.properties.core.project`,
        then the return value will be a string. In comparison, if the field
        is `configuration.properties.core`, then the return value will be a
        dictionary containing a field named `project` with a string value.
