Hi -
Can google cloud shell be used for cron'd jobs? I think the answer is no due to the inactivity timeout on the GCS VM, but I thought others with more experience might know better. Thanks.....Nick

Hello Nicholas,
Faizan
It's not recommended to run cron jobs on Google Cloud Shell because the virtual machine that backs up Cloud Shell session is not permanently allocated to a Cloud Shell session and terminates if the session is inactive for an hour. You can refer to this help center article for more information.
I hope that helps.
Faizan
