D is definitely not the way to go. Services don’t handle images.

B) Using the rolling update on the Instance Group is a good option too, but might be overkill for a simple image update.

I don't think updating the service yaml is the right approach here; it seems like the deployment is what needs the new image.

I practiced updating deployments before, and I feel like deleting and recreating the deployment isn't ideal since it might cause downtime.

I think option B sounds familiar; I recall something about rolling updates being a good practice for keeping services available during updates.

I remember we talked about using `kubectl set image` for updates, but I'm not sure if that's the best option for minimizing downtime.

I'm not sure about option B - updating the Instance Group behind the cluster seems like it might be overkill for just updating the container image. I think I'll go with option A as well.

I agree with Bernardo - option A is the easiest way to update the image without having to delete and recreate the deployment. The rolling update functionality should handle the transition smoothly.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a way to do this with a single command and no YAML files? That would be the ultimate hack.

Option D doesn't make much sense to me. Updating the service YAML file won't actually update the container image in the deployment. I'd stick with option A or C for this.

Mirta

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't option C be better, where we update the deployment YAML file and then apply the changes? That way we have the full configuration in version control.
