Re GCP VMs with base image, do you know how long it takes to boot them?

• verdverm 4y ago
  Typically less than 30s depending on the underlying image size. Their CloudRun product is probably a better fit for the needs you described, super fast boot times, container based, easy scaling

    CloudRun looks promising!

  It depends. With systemd usually a minute, but we have other workloads, so its not comparable. containers are a lot faster, since some steps can be skipped, like ip addresses and other things. Google uses kvm and probably libvirt for the vms, so you can test it localy before.

  At the same speed as the on-premise vms.the difference because of cloud-init is minimal.
