What should you do?

Your application is built as a custom machine image. You have multiple unique deployments of the machine image. Each deployment is a separate managed instance group with its own template. Each deployment requires a unique set of configuration values. You want to provide these unique values to each deployment but use the same custom machine image in all deployments. You want to use out-of-the-box features of Compute Engine.

What should you do?
A . Place the unique configuration values in the persistent disk.
B . Place the unique configuration values in a Cloud Bigtable table.
C . Place the unique configuration values in the instance template startup script.
