A cloud deployment engineer is modifying versions of the existing template image to instantiate new VMs. The engineer accomplishes this through the cloud self-service portal. After the version is chan

Checking static routes and pinging the default gateway are troubleshooting steps performed on an existing VM, but they do not address the underlying issue of why the VM received faulty or no IP configuration during its creation from the modified template.

Deleting the VM, creating a new flavor, turning on network service (which should be on), and adding a new image to the template does not specifically target the IP assignment problem that caused the lack of connectivity.

While deleting the VM and checking IP assignment planning is a good diagnostic step, 'modify configuration in the deployment' is too vague and doesn't specify how the IP issue will be resolved, unlike explicitly modifying the deployment template to assign new IPs.

Assigning new IPs by modifying and running the deployment template is the most direct solution, as it addresses the root cause of network connectivity issues that arise when new VMs are provisioned from a modified image without proper IP configuration. If the template was modified, the IP assignment mechanism might be broken for new deployments, requiring a template update to correctly configure networking.
