Migrate from GCP to Linode Cloud

[mrzzy]

Motivation

Linode provides cheaper infrastructure costs as compared to Google Cloud. Since this is a hobbyist side-project:

• we should optimize infrastructure costs where possible.
• there is no need to pay extra for tougher SLAs.

While moving to Linode from GCP would mean that we trade off:

• Per minute billing: Linode instances are billed by the hour.
• Lots of managed services: While managed services allow us delegate some production-izing complexity to Google Cloud when building applications, this does not apply to our hobbyist use case.

Proposal

Migrate Cloud Infrastructure from GCP to Linode Cloud:

• migrate Cloud DNS & TLS ACME to Linode Managed DNS

Linode's strict image size limits makes it difficult to part WARP VM to Linode:

• increasing the image size limit requires manual liaising with support.
• adding tools to WARP VM quickly hits the size limit again.
• this is a not a scalable workflow.
  Hence WARP VM on Linode is shelved.
