Great!

What strategy do you recommend for rebuilding the instance with news AMIs every month?

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I'm not understanding what you are trying to do.

Are you trying to use Amazon Machine Image on a Google Cloud Platform?



Thanks

Hello,

Sorry, It's CentOS 7 gcp image for instance.

For recreating the instance we need to keep nagios data.

We'll use external DDBB.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

We don't support creating a new instance of Nagios on a monthly basis that will create a seamless history
record. Technically it would be possible to create a new xi server each month and point it at the same db.
I know in VMWare there is functionality to clone a VM to another VM, or to clone it as a template. If there
is similar functionality in GCP you may be able to create a procedure to do what you want to do.

Thanks
