Seems like tons of nice changes.

Free f1-micro instance! That is nice. I was paying for one to dev test a webapp on. Not quite clear if it is per account or per project. Guessing per project.

Google Cloud Shell: Not sure that was free before? Looks like an excellent place to run ansible playbooks from. I could swear I had thought that before, but rejected it due to costs.

I can see myself giving some of the other services a try, not sure what didn't have free tiers before that do now other than the above.

Cloud shell was free. Works fine for Ansible. Only trick is you have to reinstall it each launch.

Disclaimer: This is some totally untested work, but is the direction I intend to go

I have a docker ansible image, which I could just DL to the local storage they give: https://github.com/chad-autry/wac-ansible
