Autoscaling: creates instances based on CPU usage to power up the server.
Problems with autoscaling in google cloud:
- Every instance creating some boot disk (based on the conditions from instance template)& external IP . and CPU scales then VM itself delete including boot disk & IP.
I thought autoscaling only adds CPU resources but adding extra disk. where new data added to the website stored I mean which instance among them & None of them are permanent. it can be useful only power up an image or snapshot.
To overcome this issue we need to automate snapshots. I am not a developer but just confusing here.
We can create load balancer to existing instance too instead of instance group.
Create instance & uncheck boot disk delete when the instance is deleted.
you cannot create an image from the disk that already used by VM or server running.
Create new image from the disk (Image name lamp1)
select source disk as 1st VM instance boot disk.
or create the snapshot from existing VM and make disk>>image
create instance template
