As of 1 August 2021, Google added the e2-micro machine type to the free tier. Google has contacted existing f1-micro users with a suggestion to upgrade to the more powerful e2-micro type (details in this reddit thread). Upgrading existing f1-micro instances running bitwarden_gcloud is easy can be accomplished following steps at the bottom of this README.
Follow these steps to migrate from the previous free tier f1-micro to the new free tier e2-micro.
- Shut down your VM instance
- Edit the vm instance to machine type e2-micro using the google cloud GUI or cloud shell.
- Boot the VM again and everything should start as before.
Note that after shutting down and booting the new machine type, it may take a while for the DNS record's TTL to expire and point to the new IP which gets changed after a shutdown.
