Speaking of cloud based, has anyone used Google Cloud? I have been getting
emails and just looked into it. The pricing seems to cheap to be true. I
ditched Amazon AppStream2.0 when I forgot to turn off my app and received a
$650 bill for leaving it up all month. They refunded the money since I had
documented my troubles making their deployment tool working but the point
is it's expensive. I can host a real sever at a data center for less than
that. Below are examples of "monthly standard machine" pricing. They have
customer and by minute billing if you can do it that way. I don't know if
they can schedule start and stop times for instances.

n1-standard-2 2 7.5GB $48.55 $14.60
n1-standard-4 4 15GB $97.09 $29.20
They have others as well. Anyway, anyone used them, know anything about
them, etc?
