GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

You need to create a reusable Compute Engine custom image of your production VM instance without shutting it down. The instance is running in zone us-central1-a and has the Linux guest environment installed so it can flush the file system before imaging. Which single gcloud command meets the requirement while keeping the VM online and capturing a consistent image?

  • gcloud compute instances stop vm-prod --zone us-central1-a && gcloud compute images create prod-image --source-disk vm-prod --source-disk-zone us-central1-a

  • gcloud compute images create prod-image --source-disk vm-prod --source-disk-zone us-central1-a --guest-flush

  • gcloud compute disks snapshot vm-prod --zone us-central1-a --snapshot-names vm-snap && gcloud compute images create prod-image --source-snapshot vm-snap

  • gcloud compute images create prod-image --source-disk vm-prod --source-disk-zone us-central1-a
