Google Cloud is the cloud computing business under Google. As an internet giant, Google's cloud service technology and stability are undoubtedly excellent. The Google Cloud free trial has been running for a long time, and new users receive a $300 trial credit upon registration.

Next, fill in the necessary identity information and payment method. Google Cloud requires verification using a Visa or Mastercard. If your credit card has a Visa logo, it is acceptable; if it only has a UnionPay logo, it may not work.

Other Notes

  • The first verification will deduct $1 from your credit card (for trial verification only), which will be refunded later.
  • After successful registration, $300 will be automatically added to your account.
  • The trial period is 60 days, meaning the $300 must be used within 60 days, otherwise it will expire.

Network Test

I tested a machine in asia-east1-a (Taiwan), and the ping was super stable at around 70ms, which feels quite good, as shown in the screenshot below.

Summary

Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure all offer free trials, so it is worth trying them out for free. If you plan to purchase officially later, the fees for these three providers are relatively high and may not be suitable for individual users.
