4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Shell?

I am using this cloud shell not for hosting or managing servers but for doing my net and memory extensive tasks for free. It provides the following things for free:

- You are getting 16 GB of RAM

- A high-speed internet connectivity (123MBPS download and 13.26MBPS upload)

- A decent 4 core Intel XEON CPU

- Code editor with terminal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Shell?

It provides is sufficient to carry out various tasks from a very low-end network device with decent connectivity. A few things I would appreciate are more disk space and a bit more usage quota per week, which is currently limited to 50hrs (7hrs 8min daily approx). There is also a time limit for inactivity after which it get disconnected if we didnt interact with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Shell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped me carry out some tasks that I could not do with a low-end computer earlier. With blazing-fast internet, it becomes speedy to install any project without waiting for a long time for it to get downloaded from the cloud. I also use it to test my application for Linux compatibility as it provides the VM instance running on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
