Deploying an F1 VM is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step guide to launching your first instance.
Continuous integration runners (like GitLab CI or GitHub Actions) often spin up for 2 minutes to run tests. An F1 VM 64-bit allows you to run modern Node.js or Rust compilers (which require 64-bit) without paying for a full compute-optimized instance.
Your physical phone might run on an older 32-bit chip, or you lack sufficient internal storage space.
Regularly clear the cache of both the host F1 VM app and the apps running inside it to prevent storage bloat.
