Can someone tell me what the purpose of the “Managed Infrastructure Mixer Client”? I have it showing up on my GCE logs and I can’t find any information on it. It is adding and removing GCE instances.
I believe it is related to GCP's recommended settings:
Automatic restart - On (recommended)
On host maintenance - Migrate VM instance (recommended)This is the User Agent used by Managed Instance Groups when performing operations on instances. These operations can result from both user operating on the MIG (e.g. resizing, recreating instances), as well as operations performed by Autoscaler, Autohealer, Updater, etc.
Note that this string may change in the future.
