Google Cloud Computing Joke!!

Don't mind me, just deploying to the Google Cloud!

My first rant here, I just found out about it, I don't have much of programming background, but it always triggeredmy intetest, currently I am learning many tools, my aim is to become a data scientist, I have done SAS, R, Python for it (not proficient yet though), also working on google cloud computing, database resources and going to start Machine Learning (Andrew Ng's Coursera).
Can anybody advice me, Am I doing it right or not.?

Which cloud hosting provider do you use or prefer and why?

I've been using Digital Ocean for two years, but I'm thinking about switching to AWS or Google, because two friends of mine recommended them. For me, at least AWS, feels way more complicated than DO. But if they are clearly better, I will switch. What's your recommendation, if you have any?

Thanks a lot!

Can we make a cluster which is moderately powerful using all free cloud computing services available online like Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Oracle cloud, Microsoft Azure etc.

What is the use of GPU in the cloud, isn't all the rendering is happening on the client machine ?

Started with google cloud platform through qwiklabs, and DAMN, what a hell of a ride!

So let's say you're theoretically hosting a website on Google's cloud platform with GoDaddy, but you have the code on your local PC. How would you go about updating it?

For now, I've just been SFTPing into the cloud server and updating it.

Not enough disk space error..just when I am done writing code and unzipping the bigger dataset.

Angry me.

Hours later.. Now mounted 200Gigs to machine.

Feels like a boss.!
