Is there a way to auto-modify a GCP instance? (with Ansible)

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to auto-modify a GCP instance (RAM, disks, number of vCPUs) without creating a new Virtual Machine. For example, auto-adding 2 GB of RAM in a machine that has reached 90% of its memory capacity, or adding storage on an existing disk that is nearly full...

I have seen that Ansible has features to create new GCP instances and disks, but nothing about managing RAM or vCPUs on a Virtual Machine.

Do you guys have any suggestions about how I could proceed?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You just have to stop the instance and then you can add RAM/disks/etc. There is no need to create a new VM for that.
