Automatically restart Compute Engine (GCE) instance when an alert gets triggered
In this video we are going to implement a system for automatically restarting a compute engine (GCE) instance when an alert gets triggered. Google Cloud doesn't have this feature built in and I will discuss why I think this is. As a workaround we are going to write a Cloud Function with a Pub/Sub trigger and then the alert will publish on this Pub/Sub topic to start the process. We are going to write the Cloud Function in Python using the Compute Engine API via the Google API Python Client.
