• Migrating Wordpress from GCP to AWS

  You may have noticed some changes to this site. Along with some style and color changes, I've updated the domain, and focused the pages on my technical blog. Originally this site started as an administrative page for the Minecraft servers I am hosting. I built the first Minecraft server in Google Cloud on a general Compute Engine instance, and was running this web page on a separate smaller instance. As the... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The Largest River: Part 1 - First Steps to Building a Globally-Distributed Application

  After countless hours of research and development, I’vedecided to run a Container-Optimized OS on Google Compute Engine VMs. These machines run images, which I’ve pushed to the Google Container Registry. As mentioned previously, this is helpful in that the same Docker images can be run locally and in production, with minimal differences in configuration. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• GCP - Copying VMs between projects

  These days I had to move some virtual machines (VM's) between different projects. After doing a quick search and spent some time, these are the results. I hope this helps you too. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• How do I host my website (server+client+DB)?

• Colabs Expire after a certain time (even for Colab Pro+). Do GCE VM's do?

  I *think* GCE VM's https://research.google.com/colaboratory/marketplace.html https://cloud.google.com/compute can run colab and don't collapse(?). Is it the case that colab on them will still collapse or am I buying/paying for something indefinite. Basically I'd really like to be able to run colab/google stuff for e.g. 7 days a shot, without it breaking. Thanks! Source: about 2 years ago

• Help! Difference between native and datastore

  Datastore mode had its start in App Engine's early days (launched in 2008), where its Datastore was the original scalable NoSQL database provided for all App Engine apps. In 2013, Datastore was made available all developers outside of App Engine, and "re-launched" as Cloud Datastore. In 2014, Google acquired Firebase for its RTDB (real-time database). Both teams worked together for the next 4 years, and in 2017,... Source: about 2 years ago

• Going Cloud Native - The problem with two-speed-IT

  Lift-and-Shift: we take an asset and host it more or less 1:1 onto the cloud. E.g., taking a monolithic JEE application and move it to Google Cloud Compute VMs. We get rid of the underlying operations components and machines. But do not enjoy other cloud capabilities. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
