Like you, I run this training platform as side project. I have been doing this since 2008. No price increase since then (always 19EUR). I come from your neighboring country - Germany. If you see the change that we join forces, feel free to contact me via LinkedIn or email » https://www.nkn-it.de
The "Instance Picker" automatically sorts by price per hour. So at the top is always the most affordable VM according to your filter. Everyone has different requirements. I work a lot with SAP and therefore filter a lot by the SAPS benchmark.
To automate this step I provide the SQL export. You can then quickly select the correct machine type.
When your VM is active in the Google Cloud for the 8 days, Google automatically recommends the size (vCPU and memory) of the VM based on the workload. More: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/apply-machin...
I needed more information than that. E.g. all the SAP stuff and I also wanted links for each VM.
You would have to remove Geekbench from Line 650 in the source code. Does not work with ARM.
1. n2-standard-16 (Intel Cascade Lake): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257619
2. n2d-standard-16 (AMD EPYC): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257340
3. n1-standard-16 (Intel Skylake): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257420
Intel Cascade Lake is with a very small lead on 1st place. But AMD is with three-year commitment the cheapest option. Great to have a choice. Thx @cvallejo
