Shameless plug also: I am the developers and operators of the free and vendor independent training log » https://www.velohero.com

Like you, I run this training platform as side project. I have been doing this since 2008. No price increase since then (always 19EUR). I come from your neighboring country - Germany. If you see the change that we join forces, feel free to contact me via LinkedIn or email » https://www.nkn-it.de

Thank you very much for your feedback, I am very grateful. The cost change is not related to compute (vCPU and memory). I will have a close look at it in October, because I need to apply the price adjustment to my other project: https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calcu...

The "Instance Picker" automatically sorts by price per hour. So at the top is always the most affordable VM according to your filter. Everyone has different requirements. I work a lot with SAP and therefore filter a lot by the SAPS benchmark.

To automate this step I provide the SQL export. You can then quickly select the correct machine type.

When your VM is active in the Google Cloud for the 8 days, Google automatically recommends the size (vCPU and memory) of the VM based on the workload. More: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/apply-machin...

In the Instance Picker in the "More" section you can find the GPU Filter. Additional GPUs can only be assigned to N1 and A2 instances. The whole Accelerator topic is very specific. Maybe I will expand it further if more people find it helpful.
