RStudio Connect for GCP is an on-demand, commercially-licensed solution for hosting RStudio Connect on GCP. There are three distinct tiers:
- RStudio Connect Base - 20 Users
- RStudio Connect Standard - 100 Users
- RStudio Connect Enterprise - 1000 Users
These instances come pre-configured with RStudio Connect 2022.02.0, R versions 3.4.4, 3.5.3, 3.6.3, 4.0.5 and 4.1.0 and python version 3.8.9 already installed. RStudio Connect is by default configured with built-in password authentication and depends on an internal SQLite database. Additional, manual configuration is required if you would like to change any of the default settings. Details on configuration options are available in the administration guide.
These instructions below will help you get started regardless of the tier that you select.
In-place upgrades for RStudio Connect are not supported through the marketplace. If you would like an upgraded version of RStudio Connect, you will need to choose an updated marketplace offering if one is available, or install and configure the latest version on your infrastructure.
1. Select your preferred tier from the options listed above, then click "Launch".
