Hello,
First month I check the invoice and What !!!
Oups why to run the staging and support environment during non working hours ?
How to do it ?
Schedule I cron from Cloud Shell, maybe ?
But a more elegant way is to use Cloud Scheduler to create a cron job, to trigger Pub/Sub to execute a Cloud Function to stop/start the VM.
I need to check the cost 😀 but at least I learn something new.
Tutorial is straight forward
https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/docs/start-and-stop-compute-engine-instances-on-a-schedule
I simply changed the memory to the function to 128Mo.
Maybe there is a way to pass a list of VM, instead to create a cron job by VM and tutorial uses Node JS 6.x backlevel in April 2020, so a change of the code will be need, but nonetheless is works like a charm.
