Use Gmail with your own domain for free
Well, if you are looking at this post you (1) have your own domain name (Psst! If you don’t, but need one? Try Namecheap), (2) love using Gmail and want to use it as to send and receive email for your domain and (3) prefer not to pay for this.

Qwiklabs – GCP Essentials – Creating a Persistent Disk – Extending the lab
I really enjoyed the Qwiklabs – GCP Essentials – Creating a Persistent Disk lab, but I think Qwiklabs could extend the lab a bit further by showing how the disk is persistent by blowing away a VM, starting a new one and reattaching the disk. So I decided to try it. You can follow the steps below to do just that.
