Request for a community owned GCP project for minikube

[medyagh]

Hello, minikube maintainer here, I would like to ask for a GCP project for minikube owned by the CNCF community, our release test infra is at a google owned project that we like to explore migrating it to CNCF-owned project, is this the right place to ask for it ?

Can you outline some more detailed requirements so we can determine how best to provide them?

We generally try to work from "my project needs VMs for testing cgroups v2 which we cannot do locally in a CI container" => "well we have AWS credits let's use EC2, make sure to use boskos to rent access" or "my project needs to host container images" => use registry.k8s.io (which is AWS+GCP, there are standardized docs for setting up image hosting on here in this repo). We have to maintain balance across the budgets available to the project.

What infra we do provide we also setup here in git wherever possible (terraform, bash etc), so it's auditable and so others can chip in in the future, instead of just creating cloud project admins and having them create random resources. So we need to know what to spin up, exactly.

We have a lot of existing shared resources in the project for things like CI and release.
We also have been asking subprojects to for example use github to host binaries, to avoid digging a deeper dependency on vendor credits when there are reasonable alternatives.
