   • BUse a blue/green deployment strategy by creating a new VM with the new configuration, validating it, and then switching traffic, all managed by Terraform
   • CUse Terraform's 'replace' flag to force recreation of the VM, accepting the downtime
   • DApply the change directly to the existing VM and rely on Terraform state to roll back if needed
