Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define VM specifications, choose operating system, configure network, launch the VM, configure public access.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you first decide the VM's hardware specs, then select the OS, set up networking, launch the instance, and finally assign public access for connectivity.
- ✗
Define VM specifications, configure network, choose operating system, launch the VM, configure public access.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because choosing the operating system typically occurs before configuring network settings, as the OS may affect network driver or compatibility requirements.
- ✗
Launch the VM, define VM specifications, choose operating system, configure network, configure public access.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the VM cannot be launched before its specifications and OS are defined; these must be configured first.
- ✗
Configure public access, define VM specifications, choose operating system, configure network, launch the VM.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because public access configuration should happen after the VM is launched, not before, as the instance must exist to assign public IPs or security rules.
