Hello everyone,
I just had the idea of using the free Google Cloud trial to run WCG, especially Open Pandemics at the moment. After a quick calculation, 8 cores of a custom N1 instance with 7.2 GB of ram and located in Iowa, Oregon or South Carolina should run freely for almost (but not quite) 2 months. I don't have the time to try it out for another week, but if anyone's willing to give it a shot and report back, it would be great. Unfortunately Sydney, even with their milder temperatures this time of year, is more expensive. link: https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier price calculator: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator |

Yes, I've been running GCP, mostly with the free trial.
