Configure Google Compute Engine VM Instance

Question

I made an application with OpenCV using c ++ on debian 10in my PC. This app uses cpu and gpu to recognize objects and a local database to store data and images on the local disk. Now, I want to migrate a GCP.

Which of the GCP Compute Engine VM instance should I use to make my app work in the cloud?

Answer 1

You have to add a GPU to your VM instance when creating one ( you have several to choose from depending on the region your instaince will be in) or you can add it later.

Also you mentioned a database - depending on how much performance you need you have to decide what kind of disk you need (standard vs ssd) . Also - if your DB is very IOPS sensitive keep in mind that it changes with disk size.
