One issue with this is that if you are using a nodejs Managed VM runtime (as shown in the Code Lab here <https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/getting-started/hello-world>) to host an Express web server. It really needs to be possible to keep a static IP pointing to your Managed VM instance.
If you do User-Managed, you lose all of the autoscaling and more right?
