To ensure that Vertex AI Workbench Instances are automatically kept up-to-date and that users cannot alter operating system settings, implementing specific organization policies is essential.
* Option A: Enabling VM Manager and adding Compute Engine instances assists in managing and monitoring VM instances but does not enforce automatic updates or restrict user modifications to the operating system.
* Option B: Enforcing the disableRootAccess organization policy prevents users from gaining root access, thereby restricting unauthorized changes to the operating system. Additionally, the requireAutoUpgradeSchedule policy ensures that instances are automatically updated according to a defined schedule. Together, these policies maintain system integrity and compliance with update requirements.
* Option C: Assigning AI Notebooks Runner and AI Notebooks Viewer roles controls user permissions related to running and viewing notebooks but does not directly influence operating system settings or update mechanisms.
* Option D: Implementing firewall rules to prevent SSH access limits direct access to instances but does not ensure automatic updates or prevent alterations through other means.
Therefore, Option B is the most appropriate action, as it directly addresses both the enforcement of automatic updates and the prevention of unauthorized operating system modifications.
