Can't select f1-micro as instance to deploy WordPress (Google Click to Deploy) on GCP
The other day I was trying to update PHP, but figured it would be simpler to just migrate the site to a new and already updated instance.
Well, while trying to do this I noticed that I couldn't select the instance type "f1-micro" as VM. Is it just me, am I missing something? The f1-micro instance is still available if you just create a vanilla VM.
I'm sure it was possible to do that a few months ago

i recommend you to use shared hosting or managed vps
Thanks, but I'd rather sort it out myself
Just wanted to tell you guys about this new "limit".
600MB RAM is unfortunately not really enough to run WordPress + MySQL well. Maybe a small installation with few visits a day.
Has been working great for me for years, it's not a big site. I currently have about 100 visits a day and the CPU mostly idles, thanks to CloudFlare's cache
@479555 I tried just now and it's working as usual (empty VM):
In which region are you trying to deploy?
Go to the Marketplace and try to deploy "Wordpress (Google Click to Deploy)" on a f1-micro instance: you won't be able to do that!
The f1-micro instance is still there if you just create a virtual machine.
Thanks for taking the time to try btw.
Yep, you're right. The smallest is g1-small.
Well, you can deploy a barebones VM and use easyengine, wordops, webinoly etc. to help you setting up the stack ;-)
No problem.
