A story that contributes to new corona analysis using a free trial of Google Cloud Platform

(Reprinted from my blog)

Introduction

In the previous article, I tried to analyze the new corona with Folding @ Home on an AWS instance, but it didn't work very well due to instance constraints. In this article, I tried the same thing with a free trial frame of Google Cloud Platform. This time, we will take advantage of the ** 12-month $ 300 credit ** that you get when you sign up for a trial.

What I did ①: Create an account

This time from creating an account.

What I did ③: Creating a VPC environment

As when I tried it on AWS, first build a VPC environment and set up an instance in it.

③-1. VPC + subnet creation

What I did ④: Build a VM instance on VPC

Create a VM instance (EC2 in AWS) on the VPC environment created in (3).

④-1. Instance creation
