Thank You, David and Alceu, Since my last update to the disable.yml config ( 5 days ago ), I haven't the need to restart the smoker process or press enter in the command prompt.
Since then I have been running 3 smokers with 1 VCPU and 3.75 GB of ram and no issues so far ( I downgraded my 2 VCPU machine ) I have submitted 4056 + 57 ( I messed up with the metabase config ) cpan reports so far. I am running out of Free Google Credits from Google Cloud, so I am contemplating setting up a physical machine at home to continue filling the gap of CPAN testing for Windows ( I will probably run the machines for the next 4 days before the credits run out ). Thank you all for the help.
