== pricing ==
For this example of '''Google Cloud Computing''', we wan't to have access to as many computer cores as possible
* The pricing explained here: https://cloud.google.com/pricing/
* A pricing calculator is here: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/
'''For the price calculation of:'''
* '''1''' server
* using '''Free: Debian, CentOS, ...'''
* with a '''regular''' VM Class
* Instance type of (HIGH CPU) '''n1-highcpu-32 (vCPUs: 32, RAM: 28.80 GB)'''
* 0 '''SSD'''
* Datacenter location '''Europe'''
* Average days per month each server is running: '''1''' days, per month.
The '''monthly''' price was of November 2015, '''$32.26'''.
At November 2015, google give free trial of '''300$'''. https://cloud.google.com/free-trial/
Note, there are some limitations: https://cloud.google.com/free-trial/#/faq
== Start free trial ==
Please first see this video:
* https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/linux-quickstart or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnEhYaUY4sA
Go to: https://cloud.google.com/free-trial/ and click '''Start your free trial'''.
You need to sign up with a credit card. To prevent mis-abuse from robots and hackers.
'''Then go to: https://console.developers.google.com'''
* You should already have a project called '''My First Project'''.
* '''Create a new project''' in top right corner of the browser under the dropdown of '''My First Project'''.
* Call the new project '''relax''' with '''App Engine location''' at '''europe-west'''
== Create a Virtual Machine instance ==
* Click then at '''Try Compute Engine''' or go to https://console.developers.google.com/compute
* Click '''Create instance'''
* '''Name:''' relax
* '''Zone:''' Don't change this. As of Nov 2015, it seems that if you change this, you cannot select more than 2 vCPU's
* '''Machine type:''' From the very bottom, create '''8 vCPUs'''. 32 cores need an upgrade to you account, [https://cloud.google.com/free-trial/#/faq and the free trial only allows for 8 vCPU's.]
* '''Boot disk:''' 10 GB of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
* '''Zone:''' Now change this to: europe-west1-c
* Let the rest be default and click '''Create'''.
== Access Virtual Machine instance ==
* Go to https://console.developers.google.com/compute
* In the line of '''relax''', click '''SSH'''
* This should open a '''browser terminal window'''
== Get relax and unpack ==

==Transfer files back and forth to the server==
Se
* https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/transfer-files
=== Install gcloud===
See https://cloud.google.com/sdk/
On your own computer
<source lang="python">
cd $HOME/Downloads
curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
source $HOME/.bash_profile
gcloud init
</source>
This will start a browser to authenticate you. When it ask for a ID, just write "test" and say no to cloning.
Then go to:
* https://console.developers.google.com/compute
* In the line of relax, click SSH, and drop down to: '''View gcloud command'''.
It could look like this. Try this in your own terminal. This should make some SSH keys and bring you to the server
<source lang="text">
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" ssh --zone "europe-west1-c" "relax"
</source>
This should bring you to the google server.
<source lang="bash">
lscpu
cat $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
exit
# At your own computer
ls -l $HOME/.ssh/google*
cat $HOME/.ssh/config
ssh-add -l
ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/google_compute_engine
ssh-add -l
</source>
=== Copy files ===
See: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/copy-files
The ssh command was
<source lang="bash">
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" ssh --zone "europe-west1-c" "relax"
</source>
We make a test file and copy it
<source lang="bash">
touch test.txt
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" copy-files test.txt relax:~ --zone "europe-west1-c"
# Try a directory
mkdir testdir
cp test.txt testdir
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" copy-files testdir relax:~ --zone "europe-west1-c"
# Back again
cd testdir
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" copy-files relax:~/testdir . --zone "europe-west1-c"
</source>
=== ssh-config with gcloud ===
See https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/config-ssh
gcloud compute config-ssh makes SSHing to virtual machine instances easier by adding an alias for each instance to the user SSH configuration (~/.ssh/config) file.
<source lang="bash">
gcloud compute --project "relax-1143" config-ssh
cat $HOME/.ssh/config
# ssh in
ssh relax.europe-west1-c.relax-1143
# Use sed to change value
grep 'relax.europe-west1-c.relax-1143' $HOME/.ssh/config
sed 's/relax.europe-west1-c.relax-1143/gcc_relax/g' $HOME/.ssh/config
sed -i.bak 's/relax.europe-west1-c.relax-1143/gcc_relax/g' $HOME/.ssh/config
ls -l $HOME/.ssh/config*
grep 'gcc_relax' $HOME/.ssh/config
ssh gcc_relax
</source>
=== Use scp and rsync ===
{{#tag:source|
#First fast check
touch test2.txt
scp test2.txt gcc_relax:
ssh gcc_relax
ls
exit
# Or use rsync
mkdir dirtest
rsync --progress -avzhe ssh ./dirtest gcc_relax:
ssh gcc_relax
ls
rmdir dirtest
exit
|lang="bash"
