Google C2 Compute-Optimized VM
30 Intel Xeon CPUs (3.8GHz)
120 GB RAM

Node Toolbox
Node Toolbox is a set of tools designed to speed up the node deployment process. With Node Toolbox, you can set up a fully functional citizen or P-Rep node in less than two minutes.
Node Monitor
Node Monitor is a Python tool that can be used to monitor an ICON citizen or P-Rep node for downtime, specifically a non-incremental block height. To do this, Node Monitor makes two requests to your node’s API endpoint, and extracts the block_height number from the response. If the block height of both requests are equal, an alert is sent to Slack.
