Important restrictions

Free e2-micro usage only in us-west1, us-central1 or us-east1. The VM allowance is pooled by running hours across those regions, not one free VM in every region. GPUs/TPUs, other disk types, excess egress, IP addresses and other billable resources are not covered. An active Cloud Billing account is required.

Independent community listing, not affiliated with the provider. Always check the latest billing policy and quotas before enabling paid usage.
