Spinning down the instances in GCP

[Luka-Loncar]

Objective

Reduce our monthly Google Cloud Platform (GCP) bill by identifying and spinning down unnecessary instances and services.

Timeline

Target completion date: Friday 13th September 2024.

Steps

1. Document current GCP infrastructure
2. Review dependencies with services
3. Spin down infrastructure and shut off services
4. Confirm bill reduction

Testnet Nodes

• New testnet - should be communicated with node operators to do the switch

Infrastructure to be Spun Down

[To be filled out by John Durkin after internal review]

Have removed 4 of 5 of the GCP bootnodes
Have removed 5 additional nodes that were not in use

There remain several instances that may be able to be removed,
There remain a few databases that can probably be archived and turned off

We have marked this issue as done, but I'm creating follow-up issue with other services and DBs and instances that could be shut down in next week. Cost of GCP can be reduced greatly in near feature.
