Your team is launching a Compute Engine VM that runs a legacy application requiring a special kernel module. During scheduled host maintenance events, you prefer the VM to shut down instead of being live-migrated, because the module might not load correctly after migration. However, if the VM crashes or is stopped by a maintenance event, it should come back online automatically when the underlying host is available again. Which availability-policy configuration satisfies these requirements?
Host maintenance set to Terminate; Automatic restart enabled
Host maintenance set to Migrate; Automatic restart enabled
Host maintenance set to Terminate; Automatic restart disabled
Host maintenance set to Migrate; Automatic restart disabled
Choosing the host-maintenance setting to Terminate ensures the VM is stopped instead of live-migrated whenever Google performs maintenance on the physical host, avoiding kernel-module issues after migration. Enabling automatic restart instructs Compute Engine to restart the instance automatically after an unexpected termination, including after a maintenance event that used the Terminate policy. Selecting Migrate would violate the requirement, and disabling automatic restart would leave the VM offline until a person intervened.
