You support a production service that runs on a single Compute Engine instance. You regularly need to spend time on recreating the service by deleting the crashing instance and creating a new instance based on the relevant image. You want to reduce the time spent performing manual operations while following Site
Reliability Engineering principles. What should you do?

  • A. File a bug with the development team so they can find the root cause of the crashing instance.
  • B. Create a Managed instance Group with a single instance and use health checks to determine the system status.
  • C. Add a Load Balancer in front of the Compute Engine instance and use health checks to determine the system status.

Selected Answer: B
The best option for reducing the time spent performing manual operations while following Site Reliability Engineering principles would be B. Create a Managed instance Group with a single instance and use health checks to determine the system status. A Managed Instance Group (MIG) is a GCP service that automatically creates, scales, and deletes instances based on the policies that you set. By creating a MIG with a single instance, you can set up health checks to automatically detect when the instance is crashing and replace it with a new instance, without manual intervention. This ensures that the service is always available, and it can reduce the time spent recreating the service and also minimize the risk of human errors.

Selected Answer: B
I think that the answer is B, Although SRE principles guide you to find the root cause and post-mortem, the question clearly asks you to: Reduce time spent on manual operations. Therefore the answer is B (Although deep in my heart I would personally combine A and B)

answer is A. If the root cause of crashing is not found and fixed, the crashing will still happen frequently even if we go MIG. Waste of money and time and does not follows SRE principles

but if the question is saying that "You want to reduce the time spent performing manual operations while following Site Reliability Engineering principles",is not improvement and fix the issue, I think if we consider reducing the time spent performing manual operations, cloud be Option B

IMO - SRE practice should be to get the root cause of crashing of VM and fix it. MIG will not help here.
