GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your organization's finance team wants to reduce unnecessary Compute Engine spend. Active Assist has surfaced several "Idle VM" recommendations. One virtual machine in a production project shows an average vCPU utilization below 5 % and almost no egress traffic for the last 30 days. The development team confirms the VM can be shut down but wants to keep its attached persistent disks for possible future use. After opening the recommendation's details page in the Google Cloud console, which available action will meet both requirements with the least manual effort and still allow data recovery later if needed?

  • Select the Stop VM only action, which powers off the instance but preserves its persistent disks.

  • Snooze the recommendation for 30 days to postpone any action until a later review.

  • Apply Delete VM and retain disks, which removes the instance entirely while keeping the disks.

  • Choose Dismiss to mark the recommendation as reviewed and prevent it from appearing again.
