Your application is deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) within a Managed Instance Group (MIG). Recently, you have observed specific error messages in Cloud Logging indicating that one of the virtual machines (VMs) in the MIG has a non-responsive process. To swiftly address this issue, you need to replace the problematic VM within the MIG. What steps should you follow to achieve this?




Explanation:

The correct answer is B. The command 'gcloud compute instance-groups managed recreate-instances' is specifically designed for recreating instances within a managed instance group. This action will replace the problematic virtual machine based on the current instance template, addressing the issue of the non-responsive process. This is a quick way to ensure the VM is replaced without manually updating and applying a new instance template.
