Google Cloud Instance GCE Feeder - n05urpr1532-MHA-Team/PTS-Team GitHub Wiki

1. Intro
If you are already running PTS, you are able to use the GCE setup in order to quickly and automatically deploy a virtual machine on the google cloud platform. This reduces the amount of steps required and simplifies the setup for those who are not familiar with setting up enterprise grade virtual machines. Once the virtual machine is created you can install PTS on it, and it will take care of most of the setup, such as mounting and configuring an NVME drive. You can then use PTS-Vault to restore your programs to run on the machine.
2. Use Case
Using the google cloud platform allows you to create a extremely powerful virtual machine for free using the $300 trial credits. Once the trial is done, Google automatically pauses all your virtual machines and will not charge you until you upgrade to a paid account. According to This Article these virtual machines can reach network speeds of up to 64 gbps. You can also utilize up to 16 cores and 4 x NVME drives while still using the free credits. When you create 2 and more NVME in the GCE Interface, the deploy will automatically create a software raid.
Examples:
2 NVME = Software raid 0 = 2 x 375 GB = 750GB Nominal memory
3 NVME = Software raid 0 = 3 x 375 GB = 1125 GB Nominal memory
4 NVME = Software raid 5 = 4 x 375 GB = 1125GB Nominal memory
These speeds are ideal for a large usenet que that is constantly downloading at the fastest speed your usenet provider supports while also getting the maximum possible upload speed on move/blitz. This is especially ideal for large sonarr/radarr ques and deploying traktarr. The best part? When your trial credits end you can create a new account and users have had success using the same card on multiple accounts
