The easiest way would be to create template from --source-instance, and then create MIG, but it is not listed here, also you cannot create a MIG from image directly, you need a template, so answer is C (image -> template -> mig).

C is the right answer

Answer A: Create a snapshot of the existing disk. Create an instance template from the snapshot. Create an autoscaled managed instance group from the instance template. Here’s why this option is the best: 1. Autoscaling: By creating an autoscaled managed instance group, you can automatically adjust the number of instances based on the load. This means that during peak business hours, additional instances will be created to handle the increased traffic, improving application performance. During off-peak hours, the number of instances can scale down to reduce costs. 2. Snapshot Creation: Taking a snapshot of the existing disk ensures that you have a backup of the current state of your application. This snapshot can be used to create the new instance template, ensuring that your autoscaled instances have the same configuration as the original instance.

I prefer B, is better because I don't need to stop the instance to create the disk image.

C. The key here is stateless, so we don't need snapshot the actual instance, we can start from zero.

C We can create an instance from an image or a custom image or a snapshot but an instance template can be created using either image or custom image only. Also refer: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-templates/create-instance-templates

Option C is the correct choice because creating a custom image from the existing disk ensures that the application environment is consistent and does not change between instances, which can reduce variability in performance. Creating an instance template from the custom image allows you to easily create new instances that are based on the same image, which can save time and effort. Finally, creating an autoscaled managed instance group allows you to automatically scale the number of instances based on demand, which can ensure that there are enough instances to handle peak traffic while minimizing costs during periods of low traffic

C is ok

C is right. Create a custom image from the existing disk. Create an instance template from the custom image. Create an autoscaled managed instance group from the instance template.

C is correct

I think Snapshot option are not correct in this scenario as to take snapshot you need to stop the VM so C looks best option

C is the answer

C is the answer

Go for C. Instance template can not be created from snapshot. Only from an image.

C is the right answer. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-templates/create-instance-templates#using_custom_or_public_images_in_your_instance_templates

vote C
