    I have followed the same again as my question

    I create new vm wordpress certified by bitnami

    Stop the 2 VM instance

    gcloud config set project my-pro
gcloud beta compute instances detach-disk old --disk old --zone namezone
gcloud beta compute instances attach-disk new --disk old --zone namezone

    Start the new VM instance

    sudo mkdir /old-disk
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /old-disk/
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop
sudo cp -r /deb-disk/opt/bitnami /opt
sudo umount /dev/sdb1

    Stop the 2 VM instance

    gcloud beta compute instances detach-disk new --disk old --zone namezone
gcloud beta compute instances attach-disk old --disk old --zone namezone --boot

    Kindly advice as the VM is down and i need to restore it asap

    Bitnami Engineer here,

    Every time a user wants to migrate the WordPress content to a new instance, we suggest them use the All in One WordPress Migration plugin. You will simply need to export the data in your current instance

    enter image description here

    and export it later in the new instance you launch

    enter image description here

    If you had any other customization in the instance (SSL certificates, redirection, …), you will need to apply those changes in the new instance as well.

    You can learn more about that here.
