Not cactus. It looks like a Variegated Spanish Dagger / Yucca gloriosa possibly YG 'Tiny Star'.

Agave americana variegata?

The toothed edges should tell you right away that this is not yucca.

BOP, it takes a while to be able to tell cacti from all of the rest of the succulents. Don't give up!

Yucca gloriosa does have serrated/toothed edges, too.

Looks like those upright swords you see all over Mexico-- especially around Tequila.
