GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your security team wants a quick, on-screen inventory of every VM that is stopped in the europe-west1 region and uses the n1-standard-4 machine type. You must produce the list directly in the Google Cloud console, without running gcloud commands or exporting data. Which approach will let you display only the required instances with the least effort?

  • Download the VM list as CSV from the VM instances page, open it in a spreadsheet, and filter the rows for TERMINATED status, europe-west1 zone, and n1-standard-4 machine type.

  • Open Cloud Monitoring's Metrics Explorer, chart the instance/uptime metric, add filters for region europe-west1 and machine_type=n1-standard-4, then switch the chart to table view.

  • Use Cloud Asset Inventory to export all compute.googleapis.com/Instance assets to BigQuery and run a query for status=TERMINATED, zone LIKE 'europe-west1%', and machineType='n1-standard-4'.

  • On the VM instances page, use the filter bar: select Status → Terminated, then add Zone starting with europe-west1 and Machine type equals n1-standard-4.
