Question

A running Compute Engine VM named 'app-prod-1' in zone us-central1-a must be relocated to zone us-central1-f because the current zone is being decommissioned for your workload. You need to move the instance with minimal manual reconfiguration and while preserving its disks and configuration. Which action should you take?

Accepted Answer

Run 'gcloud compute instances move app-prod-1 --zone us-central1-a --destination-zone us-central1-f'

Answer

Create a new instance in us-central1-f and manually detach and reattach the persistent disks using the Cloud Console

Answer

Edit the instance in the Cloud Console and change the Zone field under the machine configuration, then save

Answer

Use 'gcloud compute instances update app-prod-1 --zone us-central1-f' to change the zone in place
