I have been going through Cisco Netacad materials for last 2 years and I've seen 1.1.1.1 in examples. Though I just did a search and did not see 1.1.1.1 mentioned anymore.

It's inquired when you first register for GCP. If beforehand you've selected EMEA country there will be no option to choose between personal/business.

GCP support did respond to my inquiry and they specified that it's the case in whole EMEA.

P.S I just tried and it appears they've added option to switch to "Individual". Great!

You do need to register as a business if you are located in EMEA. There is no private/personal option. This is a huge showstopper for me and, in my opinion, anyone who wants to use it for educational purposes.

Mind explaining this further?

I am currently running an Nginx server which is using PAM service, which in turn is configured to authenticate against LDAP via pam_sss. I don't really see the use case having Nginx authenticating directly to LDAP.

  You should only use T2 instances within an auto-scaling group.
Could someone please elaborate? I always thought this is a horrible idea because upon CPU credit exhaustion the AWS metrics show CPU utilisation including the burst. For example, if you run out of CPU credits for t2.micro it will show around 15% in AWS whilst on the instance itself you will see 100%.

It seems like Google Cloud free trial in several countries (at least in LV,LT,EE) is only available to businesses.

I wanted to give the free trial a go, but wasn't able to register because it did not let me choose account type as "individual".
