CIn the Cloud Platform Console, increase the size of the persistent disk and verify the new space is ready to use with the fdisk command in Linux.

DIn the Cloud Platform Console, create a new persistent disk attached to the virtual machine, format and mount it, and configure the database service to move the files to the new disk.

Suggested Answer: A

When an application becomes slow, the first step you should take is to gather information about the underlying cause of the problem. One way to do this is by inspecting the logs and metrics from the instances where the application is deployed. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides tools such as Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring that can help you to collect and analyze this information. By reviewing the logs and metrics from the instances, you may be able to identify issues such as resource shortages (e.g. CPU, memory, or disk), network problems, or application errors that are causing the performance issues. Once you have identified the underlying cause of the problem, you can take steps to resolve it.

Haha, Option B is like the IT version of 'have you tried turning it off and on again?' Gotta love the classic reboot approach.

I'm leaning towards Option D. Creating a new disk and migrating the data seems like a more robust solution in case the resize operation goes wrong.

Option A seems like the easiest and quickest way to add more storage space without having to shut down the VM. The resize2fs command should do the trick.
