VMware ESXi 5.5 中的機器, 若使用 E1000 網卡, PPTP 會無法運作,
Client 會連不上, Server 端 Log 會看到類似這樣的 Log
GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=610c80,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
此問題查了滿久的, 完全一樣的設定移到 VM 就不行, 原來是 VMware 本身的問題

解法1: 上 Patch (需要架 Update Manager 伺服器)
解法2(Workaround): 把網卡改成 VMXNET3, 若是 CentOS 必需裝 centos.plus 的 kernel, 才會有 vmxnet3 的 module

ref. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connections may not work on ESXi 5.5 (2061834)

2014-10-08 Update: PPTP Client 也有類似的狀況, Log 最後會看到 LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

管理 Compute Engine, 需安裝 gcutil,
python 版本至少要 2.6.x 以上才行, 最好要有 X 的環境, 因為一開始認證時, 會帶出登入 Google 的網址,
若是純文字, 會用 w3m, 但是 Email 欄位會填不到

認證完後, 就可以用管理介面上的 SSH command (gcutil) 使用 Key 直接連入,
預設只能用 Key 登入, 要打開密碼登入需改 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication yes
再 restart sshd
要切到 root 用 sudo -s

ref. The Heartbleed Bug

Google 推出了跟 Amazon EC2 類似的服務 Google Cloud Compute Engine, 價錢跟 Amazon EC2 幾乎一樣,
Zone 目前只有兩個區可以選, europe-west, us-central
Image 目前有 debian-7, centos-6, rhel-6, sles-11, 尚未有 Windows 平台
Public IP 的做法跟 Amazon EC2 也一樣, 有在使用是免費的
