Explanation

The root cause of slow rolling updates is OS boot time-each VM must boot a full operating system before the application can start. Containers solve this by sharing the host OS kernel, eliminating the OS boot process entirely. Container startup times are measured in milliseconds to seconds versus minutes for VMs. Converting to containers (e.g., running on Google Kubernetes Engine) dramatically accelerates deployments and rolling updates. Option A (more cloud resources) and Option C (increase VM resources) don't address boot time at all. Option D (automate rollouts) improves process efficiency but doesn't reduce the fundamental bottleneck of OS boot time.
