Hi,
I migrated my NIS from Amazon AWS to google Cloud. It's working good.
The original VPSscript from a other thread worked fine. The current nem installer (master.zip). Doesn't work at the moment, but As soon as I have time I will trouble shoot.

Thats pretty nice, i never considered google.
Please let me know what is up with the script. I assume it is still an Ubuntu installation.
thanks
It's a ubuntu 14.04 LTS same as my AWS System.
Current list of Problems with master.zip:
1. Installation
If you invoke install_nem.sh with a admin user the script hasn't enough rights to mv important files to /var/lib/nem and /opt/nem but Installation finished with out error and you can start nis but it fails with an error.
If you invoke install_nem.sh with sudo, you have enough rights but then gpg isn't able to get public keys from key server, so Intallations fails.
- work around "sudo su - " and then invoke install_nem.sh
2. Error by setting MAXRAM=400M
I set MAXRAM=400M cause I tried to run NIS on smallest VM available. Since Min Ram is hardcode to 512M NIS didn't startup
I set to MAXRAM=768 now. But since g1 has just 0,6G RAM my load is up to 1,5 to 2 now.
I may have to use the f1 instance with 1,7G RAM but then it is more expensive then AWS I used before.
Google GCE vs Amazon AWS for NEM -> my 2 cents
I was a System Engineer in my former life and had much experience in Linux Administration. Now I'm a Management Guy and my tech skills are lower as before 
Since I used AWS for Cloud backup till a week ago I used it for VM's to play with too. Now I'm migrating to GCE for Cloud Backup.
I choiced Cloud Google as Cloud backup storage cause in case of a restore I don't have to wait 4-5 hours to get the file and other Operation are quicker too.
AWS Console is a powerful but if you do use it on a monthly till yearly basis, the GUI is not so intuitive like the GCE one.
GCE has a clean Webinterface and most stuff is quite easy to configure, so for me I prefer GCE now.
But Problem with GCE the smallest VM for about 6$/month has just 600M RAM and the 1.7G RAM for 16$/month cost 7$/month more then AWS VM. So after 60 days trial I may migrate back to AWS unless I'm able to run NEM stable in a 600M environment.

PS
So what is the absolut minimum RAM for running NIS ?
