Summarize Free plan:
Goal:

• which services are and will be needed for our site?
• what limitations are there?
• Google Cloud admin: what is needed for allowing users to deploy and manage Google Cloud?

Steps:

• how can I check services are for free?
• are there quotas, alerts or reports in the Google Cloud Dashboard?

@KlugeCh, after registration for the Google Cloud free plan: when you have deployed it, please check how to allow @RouvenGonzalez so that he can create a deployment task. Ideally it is NOT required him being an admin!

Wow das heißt paypal dürftest du nur als geschäftskunde benutzen oder wie?
Das ist natürlich doof zum ausprobieren....

[KlugeCh]

@RouvenGonzalez Das ist richtig. Ohne Account kann ich den deploy der "hello world" app und die benötigten ressourcen nicht weiter auswerten. Müssen wir mit Tai besprechen.
