Well, if you are looking at this post you (1) have your own domain name (Psst! If you don’t, but need one?

I went to donate blood recently and if you have not done so yourself recently (or at all) I strongly recommend you doing it.
Just go to https://www.donateblood.com.au/ to find the closest location to you.

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.
