You are responsible for deploying a mission-critical application on Google Cloud that must run in a Debian Linux environment. The application requires extensive configuration to operate correctly and will need to install Debian distribution updates with minimal manual intervention whenever they become available. Which deployment strategy should you choose to meet these requirements?
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Creating a Debian-based Compute Engine instance, installing and configuring the application, and using OS patch management to install available updates will ensure that Debian distribution updates can be applied with minimal manual intervention. OS patch management provides a reliable method to automate the patching process across VM instances, ensuring your environment remains secure and up-to-date without the need for repeated manual intervention. Options A and C require recreating instances to apply updates, which involves more manual effort. Option D, while leveraging containers, would still require building and redeploying Docker images for each update, which also involves more manual steps.
