Host an application on a Compute Engine VM in a project shared with other teams and prevent those teams from accidentally causing downtime. Which feature should you use?

Enabling deletion protection on the instance prevents accidental deletion of the Compute Engine VM, which is crucial in a shared project environment to avoid downtime caused by other teams. Shielded VMs enhance security by protecting against rootkits and boot-level malware, but they don't prevent accidental deletion. Preemptible VMs are cost-effective but are designed to be shut down by Compute Engine at any time, making them unsuitable for applications requiring high availability. Sole-tenant nodes allow you to dedicate a physical host to your VMs, offering isolation and specific licensing benefits, but they do not inherently prevent accidental VM deletion.
