QuestionQ105

Ensuring solution and operations excellence

You manage several hundred Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines running on Google Compute Engine (GCE). You must periodically patch these VMs' operating systems securely and at scale. What should you do?

  • A Create a Cloud Scheduler job to run a Bash script that securely connects to each VM and applies the patches.
  • B Configure Config Sync, and install the Ops Agent on each VM. Schedule a patch job to apply patches on each VM.
  • C Schedule a Cloud Build job, and use Cloud Deploy to run a patch job that applies patches on each VM.
  • D Set up VM Manager, and install the OS Config agent on each VM. Schedule a patch job to apply patches on each VM.
Explanation

VM Manager provides centralized, scheduled OS patching for large Compute Engine fleets. Its Patch service schedules patch jobs, and the OS Config agent installed on each target VM applies the operating-system updates.
